Handcrafted out of solid pure copper, rain chains are Japanese in origin where rain chains have been used for hundreds of years, but our versatile coppersmiths have also developed many kinds of rain chains, such as loop copper rain chains, copper lily rain chains, double loops rain chains, and double link rain chains, etc. Rain chains act as linked funnels that are a decorative alternative to a cheerless gutter downspout, traditional closed metal or plastic downspout. They can be installed easily-simply place into your existing gutter system in place of a downspout. The rain chains are approximately 8.5 inches, but can be shortened or combined with more units for greater length, don’t forget to measure the height of your roof to see if you need more rain chains or not. Available for different patterns or you can provide us details, CAD drawing or hand drawing, it is no problem for us to make satisfactory products for you. For large orders we can open-mold for you that will make faster production and lower price possible.
