What is a Rain Chain?

Originating in Japan, Japanese rain chains were invented as a mechanism for transporting rain water from the roof into a container for their own use. Through the evolution of technology, rain chains have developed into decorative and ambient alternatives to downspouts. Rain chains use a combination of chain links, cups, and round surfaces to allow water to smoothly run down the rain chain and either into a container or onto the ground. While the water travels down the rain chain it creates a sound that is relative to that of a waterfall, which most users find calming and peaceful. This usually is the reason why most of our customers buy rain chains for gutters.

Efficient Rain Chains for Gutters

Gutter downspouts serve their purpose of transporting rainwater down from your gutters to the ground, but most tend to have a loud dripping sound that can easily annoying the house’s residents. If you are looking for a quieter alternative to the typical downspout, you might want to try a rain chain downspout.
