Rain Chains

30 Results
If you’re looking for a charming solution to ridding your roof of water, rain chains are an elegant alternative to the more traditional gutter downspout. These whimsical chains guide water from your roof down to the ground in loops or cups. The combination of water happily trickling down plus the fun and intricate designs of the cups and loops make a rain chain a fascinating water feature that’s easy to add to any home.

The rain chain originated in Japan, and if you happen upon a Japanese temple you may spot one gracefully guiding the water down to the ground or into a nearby rain barrel. Installation of rain chains at home is fairly simple as they hang from the hole where your downspout would have gone. If you prefer something more refined than a rain barrel, you can create a shallow bowl out of redwood or cedar and fill it with small pebbles or place a paver stone of your choice beneath your rain chains. Another option may be a ceramic or copper bowl, as well.

Easily add delight and functionality to your gutters with beautiful rain chains from Houzz!
