Umbrella Copper 8.5 ft. Rain Chain by Good Directions

The Umbrella Rain Chain from Good Directions combines functionality and beauty. It is handmade from copper, making it durable and long-lasting. With its artistic design, the six-inch wide umbrella ornaments are linked to create an 8.5-foot rain chain that promotes water flow and allows water to cascade beautifully from the rooftop to the ground. You can replace your ordinary gutter downspout with this inspired rain chain and welcome the rain. Enjoy the beauty of handcrafted copper rain chains, as copper develops a lovely patina over time.

Rain chains are an appealing alternative to traditional downspouts, channeling rain from roofs through linked cups or chains for a waterfall effect. Available in various designs like flowers or bells, they enhance any home or garden. Made from durable metals such as copper, brass, or aluminum, copper chains develop a beautiful patina over time. They are eco-friendly, low-maintenance, reduce soil erosion, and require less upkeep than gutters. Although they assist with winter runoff, they do not primarily prevent ice. Their open design reduces blockages and cracking risk, but if not securely anchored, ice buildup can stress the chain and dripping water can create slippery spots. To minimize ice issues, securely mount your rain chain and consider adding a basin or drainage bed to absorb runoff.
