Complementing the outdoor space with Copper Rain Chains

Ubiquitous on homes, gardens and temples throughout Japan, Copper Rain Chain has been used for hundreds of years. Referred to as ‘Kusari-Doi’ in Japanese, it provides a stunning and functional substitute for the rainwater gutter down pipe. At the same time, rain chains also produce a beautiful cascade of water that flows gracefully between the sections. It is also an added advantage to note that water coming down from the chains can be fed into a large pot or suitable drain covered in pebbles.

To enhance their aesthetic appeal, rain chains can be attached to a pergola as a water feature. Owing to the presence of a small pipe structure attached to the top of the pergola, water is carried along the top of the pergola and then down the Copper Rain Chain into a rock base landing. Highly elegant, these beautiful home accents are beautiful and functional and can be enjoyed all summer and winter.

Available in many designs, Copper Rain Chain can weather over time to produce a delightful ‘Verdigris Patina’. Extremely popular for adding to the aura of the outdoor space, the rain chains create a small waterfall pleasing both to the ears and eyes. Apart from averting erosion, rain chains also provide a decorative water element to an outdoor landscape. Whilst effectively directing water from the gutter to the collecting tank, these garden accessories also add to the aesthetic appeal of a landscape.

Further, the artistically designed copper chains that oxidise over time offer a highly attractive alternative in areas where aesthetics are crucial.
