Rain Chains are decorative japanese rain gutters. They are a beautiful and functional alternative to traditional closed metal or plastic downspouts.

Rain water is channelled down the centre of the chain, so it makes an attractive water feature as well as helping to harvest rainwater for use in the garden. Rain chains collect rainwater from the roof, and this water can be collected in a water butt for later use, or directed into a flowerbed or the ground. This prevents excess water being sent into storm drains - returning it naturally to the water table through infiltration and so rain chains are an important weapon in the fight against flooding in the UK.

Our Rain Chains are made of solid copper and so will not rust. Instead they will weather naturally and take on a beautiful verdigris patina.
