Q: Do I need to buy anything else to install it?
Yes, you'll also need a support bracket, available separately, that fits into a standard 3" to 4 1/2" downspout opening to hang the chain from.
ET216 - Copper Rain Chain, 3' Section
This item is not available for this region.
Based on a traditional Asian design, this rain chain serves as a decorative but effective alternative to a regular downspout. Water from your eaves cascades down the chain through a series of fluted crocus-shaped funnels and flows from the bottom of the chain, which can be positioned over a splash plate or rain barrel.
Easy to install without tools or fasteners, the chain hangs from a powder-coated aluminum support bracket (available separately) that inserts into a standard 3" to 4 1/2" wide downspout opening of an eavestrough. Links are easily opened by hand, so you can connect multiple chains (supplied in 3' sections) or remove excess links for a custom fit.
Made from copper with brass funnel connectors, the chain will develop a weathered patina over time.
Please measure the height of your eaves before ordering to ensure you purchase an adequate number of chain sections.
Yes, you'll also need a support bracket, available separately, that fits into a standard 3" to 4 1/2" downspout opening to hang the chain from.
Measure the drop from your gutter outlet to the ground or splash block, then join or open individual 3-foot sections by hand until the chain matches that height.
Yes, the copper links and brass connectors will develop a natural weathered patina with outdoor exposure rather than corroding.
Yes, a copper rain chain can fully replace a section of downspout, guiding water down to a splash plate or rain barrel instead of through an enclosed pipe.
