Rain Chains Direct Slim Link

This rain chain is really nice. I did not want one that looked too "decorative", my house is more contemporary so this one works great. I love the way it looks hanging from my house. It also is so cool when it is raining, the water travels down the chain into my rain storage bucket. It is light weight and iit is super easy to hang up. It looks expensive but the price is great! I have had a few neighbors tell me how much they love my rain chain and have asked where to get it. I am going to order another ne for my back yard. We are in a drought so this makes it really easy to collect rain water!

Very lightweight. Should work pretty well.

cheap looking

Doesn't work well. Water spits off of the chain defeating the purpose of the water running down to a drain. Looks beautiful but doesn't work. I have a metal roof and maybe the water is running down too fast for the chain to handle the flow.

Soooo... this is a very light weight material and it seems like the water is not just running down the chain but splatting off of it. I adjusted the chain so it sat very centered per link and that helped but if it gets windy this might not be as effective as I'd like. I think a heavier chain and a rounded or oval shaped link would be a better option if you want the water to run neatly down the chain. This is the first rain chain I've ever tried so I had no idea what to expect. I think this is adequate for very light rain but would suggest a heavier chain with oval links for anything more than that.

This basic chain helps direct rain water away from the porch corner where the aluminum roof overhangs. It needs a basin on a slant at the bottom end to collect the water and continue the disbursement of the water out and away, but it works! It's also beautiful in the winter when coated with ice.

I designed a special dimension sized 16 foot aluminum rain gutter for catching rain water off my solar PV panels mounted on a sturdy trellis. The aluminum rain chain is perfect for leading any condensation or rain down to my rain barrel because there is no chance of electrolysis from two different types of metal. Chain is light weight and will not sway too much in light wind.

Looks good but does not work like the more substantial cup style versions I previously used. I took a chance on this because it was replacing a gutter downspout off a small deck roof and needed limited functionality. It gives the minimal look I wanted but I would not use it to replace a gutter that gets a lot of rain
