Tulip Black 8.5ft. Rain Chain by Good Directions

The Good Directions Tulip Black 8.5ft. Rain Chain is a striking blend of form and function. Designed with 4.25-inch-wide tulip-shaped cups and a total length of 8.5 feet, it gracefully channels rainwater from your rooftop to the ground while adding a modern, decorative touch to your home's exterior. Since 1982, Good Directions has been dedicated to creating high-quality, durable products for homeowners who value beauty and performance.

Rain chains are a decorative and functional alternative to traditional downspouts, aesthetically pleasingly guiding rainwater from the roof to the ground. Typically made from weather-resistant metals like copper, brass, or aluminum, they come in various styles, including interlocking links or cups shaped like flowers or bells. Eco-friendly and low-maintenance rain chains reduce soil erosion and require less upkeep than conventional gutters. While they can handle winter runoff, they are not explicitly designed to prevent ice damage. Their open design allows water to freeze freely, reducing the risk of blockages and cracking. Icicles on rain chains can also create a charming winter aesthetic. Ice buildup can stress the chain if not properly anchored. Dripping water may create slippery patches below; use a rain chain basin to prevent this from happening.

Installation is simple. Only a screwdriver is needed to install your new rain chain. A gutter installation clip is included for the perfect connection. The chain is 8.5 feet long, and the cup is 3 1/4 inches wide x 3 inches high. The Good Directions cups are the largest in the industry, ensuring all water is diverted from your home.
