The Buttercup rain chain features an understated, elegant floral design inspired by the delicate buttercup flower. This nice medium size is suitable for most outdoor decor and most rainfall conditions, making it a versatile choice for any home style. The buttercup cup shape provides excellent water control while adding subtle decorative charm that enhances your home's exterior without being overwhelming.

V-Hook Included - Easy Installation:

A matching V-hook is included for easy installation. The V-hook fits into standard 2x3 and 3x4 gutter outlets, allowing you to hang your rain chain directly from your existing gutter system without modification. Since Buttercup comes fully assembled, installation takes just minutes - simply remove your downspout, insert the V-hook, and hang your rain chain!
