Monarch Rain Chains Aluminum Teardrop 8-1/2-Feet Length (Flat Black Powder Coated)

When my house was built, both front and back eaves-troughs were piped to a storm sewer inlet pipe next to the house. The one from the back actually went into and through the house! I changed that with a new downspout at the back. Over time, the storm sewer pipe clogged up. Now the front eaves-trough lets rain come down the rain chain and water a big tree. It also looks nicer than the pipe.

Beautiful chain and is great quality. Just what I wanted.

This is a very sturdy rain chain formed in a similar fashion to a steel chain with interlocking links. I live in Michigan so strong and light is important if you want to leave it up in the winter. I had decorative chains that looked nice but fell apart with ice buildup. Rain chains work best with a funnel so if you are replacing a downspout then install a rain chain funnel sealed to the top of the downspout takeoff. You can also drill a round hole in the gutter and seal the funnel in with silicone. My only disappointment is that Amazon only sells 8.5 foot lengths so I had to buy two for my 12 foot high gutters.

Very pleased with my purchase - it looks great. The price was very good and it looks fabulous on my house and does the job of elegantly capturing the rain.

I found I needed to do a small modification however as the rain was splashing off the top few chains - after I installed a little 2 foot cylinder it directs the water down pretty well now
