Rain Chain Collection Basin - Essential Accessory:
A rain chain collection basin is essential for proper rain chain installations. The basin catches water at the bottom of the rain chain, preventing erosion, directing water away from foundations, and creating an attractive water feature. The 16" diameter provides ample collection area for moderate to heavy rainfall. Position the basin on a stable, level surface directly below your rain chain for optimal performance.
Optional Dish Loop Kit - Added Security:
Add the optional Dish Loop Kit to your installation. This kit includes a strong loop and length of light chain to secure your rain chain at the bottom. The loop attaches to the basin while the light chain connects to the bottom of your rain chain, preventing wind movement and ensuring the chain stays centered over the basin. Recommended for areas with high winds or for extra-long rain chain installations.
Complete your rain chain installation with our professional 16" Copper Dotted Dish Rain Chain Basin.

Installation Guide - Contractors and DIY:
- Select location: Position basin directly below rain chain landing point
- Prepare ground: Level the ground or create a stable base (gravel, pavers, or concrete pad)
- Position basin: Place the 16" dotted dish on the prepared surface
- Level the basin: Use a level to ensure basin is perfectly horizontal for proper water collection
- Connect hook: Attach the integrated hook to the bottom of your rain chain
- Optional - Add Dish Loop Kit: Install loop and light chain for added security in windy areas
- Test alignment: Verify rain chain hangs centered over basin
- Create drainage: Ensure overflow has somewhere to drain (away from foundation)
- Test during rainfall: Observe water collection and adjust positioning if needed
Installation Tip: For best results, place the basin on a bed of decorative gravel or river rocks. This provides drainage for overflow, adds visual appeal, and helps anchor the basin in place. The 16" diameter provides a generous target area for water collection even in windy conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do I need a collection basin for my rain chain?
A: While not strictly required, a collection basin is highly recommended. It catches water at the bottom of the rain chain, prevents erosion, protects your foundation, reduces splash, and creates a finished, professional appearance. Most rain chain installations benefit significantly from a properly sized basin.
Q: What is the Dish Loop Kit and do I need it?
A: The optional Dish Loop Kit adds a strong loop and length of light chain to secure your rain chain at the bottom. It prevents wind movement and keeps the chain centered over the basin. We recommend it for high-wind areas, extra-long rain chain installations, or any situation where chain movement is a concern.
Q: Will the copper basin develop patina like copper rain chains?
A: Yes! The copper basin will develop natural patina over time just like copper rain chains. It starts bright copper and gradually transitions to bronze, then brown, and eventually develops green verdigris. This natural aging process is prized for its authentic, aged appearance and actually protects the copper.
Q: Is the 16" size large enough for heavy rainfall?
A: Yes, the 16" diameter x 3" deep basin is ideal for most installations including the heavy rainfall common in the Pacific Northwest. The generous size catches water effectively even during heavy downpours. For extremely high-volume applications, larger basins are available.
Q: How do I handle overflow from the basin?
A: Place the basin on a bed of decorative gravel or river rocks to allow overflow to drain naturally into the ground. Ensure the overflow drains away from your foundation. For heavy rainfall areas, consider connecting overflow to a French drain or rain garden.
Q: Can contractors pick up locally?
A: Yes! Local pickup is available at our Damascus, Oregon location Monday-Friday 7am-4pm and Saturday 9am-2pm PST. Call (503) 850-6784 to confirm stock availability. Portland metro delivery and nationwide shipping also available. Volume pricing for contractors ordering multiple basins.
Installation Notice
Ensure proper installation for optimal performance. Basin must be level for proper water collection. Position directly below rain chain and verify alignment. Ensure adequate drainage for overflow - direct water away from foundation. The basin can collect rainwater and may attract wildlife. Empty standing water if mosquitoes are a concern in your area. Follow all local codes regarding rainwater collection and drainage.
