Rain Chains an alternate of plastic downspout a beautiful copper rain chain can be easily installed. Copper rain chains originated in Japan then after a centuries ago but have been modified to suit any home style...be it a traditional or contemporary home. Rain chains are a functional piece of art and enhance the beauty of a home. With constant use the copper turns into a beautiful verdigris color which accentuates the beauty of a rain chain.
Rain chains retail for $8 to $20 per linear foot, though handcrafted versions may sell for as much as $50 per foot. That’s more expensive that a traditional downspout, but a good price for a piece of sculpture that beautifies your home.
Rain Chains get first gained wide attention in the US during the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano and have quickly become popular.
Rain chains can be a beautiful addition to your home, creating a peaceful feeling. Many homeowners love the sound made as water flows down their rain chains. The sound will vary based on the style of cup used.
A series of cups makes typical rain chains, in different designs, mostly made out of copper and other various metals. They are linked together by chains, with a hold on the bottom of each cup. This allows rainwater to go drain through, traveling its way onto the vertical chains, and onto the next cup, until it eventually ends up in a barrel or over a bush or plant. The rainwater playfully dances and flows down the hand-crafted metal channels that make a pleasing tinkering sound.
