Monarch Rain Chains Pure Copper Cascading Leaves Rain Chains for Gutters – 8.5 ft Decorative Rainchain Outdoor Durable Heavy Duty Gutter Chain Downspout Replacement, Modern Rainchains for Outside

This rain chain is beautiful. I had the downspout moved to this side of the garage so that I could capture more water in the front yard mulch. I am catching hundreds of gallons now which is a huge blessing in my drought prone northern California climate. It did take some fiddling to get the leaves to lay flat and I buried the end in my woodchips and staked it with some irrigation staples.

No one should ever buy a rain chain unless they know what it is and what it does. A rain chain does not replace a downspout. It is primarily a decorative item that provides a soothing effect while watching the rain dribble down the links--or, in this case, beautiful copper leaves. This "chain" requires a bit more attention than standard link chains in that the leaves must be kept as vertical as possible to avoid unwanted splashing. This is easily done during installation by simple centering the loops from which the leaves hang, and perhaps bending the tab on the leaf to assure it remains vertical. I strongly suggest purchasing the Stanwood Rain Chain Copper Gutter Adaptor for Rain Chain Installation to assure that the flow of water draining from the area above your chain is captured as completely as possible and directed down the chain. For the most part, small chains like this will not be effective in a downpour and are meant to direct a light to medium flow of water. If your chain will be subject to affects of the wind, I would further recommend the Stanwood Rain Chain Copper Basin Bowl for Rain Chain , which adds weight to the bottom of the chain and can also help to avoid erosion of the soil if that is a potential problem. Finally, if you are worried about returning defective or problematic merchandise, always look for "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com." I've never had a problem yet.

Beautiful shades of copper, different shapes of leaves, full length. Very nice! Can’t wait for rain 🌧️!

Excelente calidad

This looks great. We have gotten a ton of compliments on this. But its not the best for actually letting the water cascade down and falling where you plan it to fall. It seemed to have a problem with leafs clogging it up and gushing the water over the top. So I change out the flower shaped funnel on top for a lager one and it works better. But every so often I have to go through it and adjust the little copper leafs down the chain so that they point straight downward. Otherwise the water will flow down the chain, hit that leaf that's pointing outward and shoot a little stream out to the side and land in my planter box. Not a deal breaker, but something I have to watch out for.

We get many compliments about how beautiful this is. Gorgeous to watch rain trickle down. Easy to install, takes a little flexing of things to make rain gutter come right down in to center of this, but was overall easy to install.

Love it! Works well and much prettier than a spout. You won’t be disappointed with it

It's beautiful, easy to install, and cascades the rain down in a pretty splash. If you hope to contain the rain, this chain is not for you. It is only 8 feet tall, so if you need to, get two and link them together to make it all the way to the ground. I can't wait for it to go all verdigris oxidized for the wonderful "copper" look. It arrives, of course, shiny and copper - bright. But you know that is not going to last, and it will age nicely, especially in Seattle where it rains alllllllllllll winter.

J'étais curieuse pour voir si ça fonctionnait bien, enfin, il a plu: c'est joli et ça fonctionne en redirigeant l'eau aux bons endroits.

Beautiful product. I gave it to my daughter in law for Christmas. Have to wait for spring to see it.

This is beautiful and sounds great too, so much better than an ugly down spout.

we love the look: it looks discreet amongst the trees off the balcony, yet it catches the eye as very beautiful.

Does not come with the little ‘top hat’ PC that secured to the eves and that the chain hangs from. You need to order separately or rig something up
