What is the size and type of chain used? - Most rain chains are copper and a single chain. This is a better color for me and the multiple chains are a great look. What specifically are they?
Thanks for your help. »
ok i am very interested in this and would love to put one of these on my house. the bottom goes into what? and then is there a spout on the back to get the water out or what? »
mvgavin Could you tell me how all of those chains were fixed to the roof/gutter? I imagine there is less splashing of rain water with all the chains to encapsulate it? Great, great design!
Recycle. This smart application of a rain chain and rain barrel is actually lovely enough to be considered a fountain. When not capturing rainwater, the chains effectively evoke the sense of movement and calm of a water feature.Do you have a water-wise fountain you want to share?

also known as LID ( low impact development ) and widely used with similar elements to collect rain water and or run-off for large commercial installation to earn Green Building Credits.
