HAND WELDED - Not a Cheap Stamped Product!
Each Medium Square Cup is individually crafted - every side of the cup is welded by hand to the next. This is NOT a cheap, stamped product! Hand welding ensures superior strength, durability, and craftsmanship that mass-produced stamped cups simply cannot match.
POWDER COATING vs PAINT - Why It Matters!
Powder coating will last on exterior products; paint will NOT! Avoid cheap copies with painted parts!
Powder coating is a type of coating that includes metal applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." This creates a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is the professional standard for coating metals exposed to weather - it resists chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion far better than any paint.
Easy Assembly - No Tools Required!
To prevent damage in transit and reduce packaging volume, the upper wires are shipped separately from the cups. Some assembly is required - it takes just a few minutes with NO TOOLS needed. See our Resources page for a video guide. Includes a matching color V-hook for easy installation!
Sold in 8-Foot Sections - Calculate Your Needs:
Rain chains are sold in 8-foot (96-inch) sections with 19 cups per section. Measure from your gutter outlet to where you want the chain to end (typically ground level or into a collection basin). Standard single-story homes typically need 1 section (8ft), while two-story homes may need 2 sections (16ft) connected together. Multiple sections can be linked for any length requirement.
Transform your home's exterior with our Medium Square Cups Rain Chain in hand welded aluminum with bronze powder coating. Unlike cheap stamped products, each cup is individually crafted with every side welded by hand to the next - ensuring superior strength and craftsmanship. The bronze powder coating (NOT paint!) creates a hard, durable finish that resists chipping, fading, and corrosion for years of outdoor exposure. Each 8-foot section contains 19 beautifully crafted square cups (3-1/4" wide x 3" length x 1-5/8" bottom opening) that guide rainwater in a mesmerizing cascade from gutter to ground. The geometric square design provides excellent water containment with a modern aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary architecture. Easy assembly is required (upper wires shipped separately to prevent transit damage) - takes just a few minutes with NO TOOLS needed. Matching color V-hook included for easy installation! Perfect for contractors seeking quality hand-crafted options and DIY homeowners who appreciate superior craftsmanship over mass-produced alternatives.

Length Calculator - How Many 8ft Sections Do You Need?
| Building Height | Sections Needed | Total Cups |
| Single-story home (8-10ft gutter) | 1 section (8ft) | 19 cups |
| Two-story home (16-20ft gutter) | 2 sections (16ft) | 38 cups |
| Three-story / Commercial | 3+ sections (24ft+) | 57+ cups |
How to Measure: Measure from your gutter outlet to where you want the chain to end (ground level or collection basin). Add 6-12 inches for overlap if using multiple sections. Each 8ft section contains 19 medium square cups.
Quantity Calculator - How Many Chains Do You Need?
| Project Type | Typical Quantity | Notes |
| Single downspout replacement | 1 chain | Entry-level rain chain installation |
| Front of house conversion | 2 chains | Typical front gutter has 2 downspouts |
| Whole house conversion | 4-6 chains | Average home has 4-6 downspouts |
| Large home / Commercial | 6+ chains | Call for volume contractor pricing |
How to Count: Walk around your home and count the number of existing downspouts you want to replace with rain chains. Each downspout location needs one chain (or multiple linked sections for taller installations).
Hand Welded vs Stamped - Quality Comparison:
Hand Welded (This Product)
- Each cup individually crafted
- Every side welded by hand
- Superior strength at joints
- Consistent quality control
- Artisan craftsmanship
- Premium durability
Best for: Quality-conscious buyers, long-term value
Cheap Stamped Products
- Mass-produced in molds
- Weak seams and joints
- Prone to cracking/separating
- Inconsistent quality
- No craftsmanship
- Short lifespan
Issues: Failures, replacements, wasted money
Why Hand Welded Matters: Hand welding creates stronger joints that won't crack, separate, or fail over time. Each cup is individually inspected for quality - something impossible with mass-stamped products.
Powder Coating vs Paint - Durability Comparison:
Powder Coating (This Product)
- Electrostatically applied dry powder
- Heat-cured to form hard "skin"
- Tougher than conventional paint
- Resists chipping and scratching
- UV-resistant - no fading
- 15+ year outdoor durability
Result: Lasts for years in all weather
Painted Products (Cheap Copies)
- Liquid paint sprayed on
- Thin surface coating only
- Chips and flakes easily
- Scratches expose bare metal
- Fades quickly in sunlight
- 1-3 year outdoor life
Result: Peeling, rust, replacement needed
Why Powder Coating Matters: Paint will NOT last on exterior products! Powder coating creates a hard, durable finish that bonds to the metal at a molecular level - it won't chip, peel, or fade like paint does.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What does "hand welded" mean and why is it better?
A: Each Medium Square Cup is individually crafted with every side welded by hand to the next - NOT a cheap, stamped product! Hand welding creates stronger joints that won't crack, separate, or fail over time. Mass-produced stamped cups have weak seams that often fail within a few years, while our hand-welded construction provides 15+ years of reliable service.
Q: Why is powder coating better than paint?
A: Powder coating will last on exterior products; paint will NOT! Powder coating is electrostatically applied as a dry powder, then heat-cured to form a hard "skin" that is tougher than conventional paint. It resists chipping, scratching, and UV fading. Cheap copies use paint that chips, peels, and fades within 1-3 years of outdoor exposure.
Q: Does this rain chain require assembly?
A: Yes, easy assembly is required. To prevent damage in transit and reduce packaging volume, the upper wires are shipped separately from the cups. Assembly takes just a few minutes with NO TOOLS needed. We have a video guide available on our Resources page to walk you through the simple process.
Q: Is a V-hook included for installation?
A: Yes! A matching color V-hook is included for easy installation. The V-hook fits into standard 2x3 and 3x4 gutter outlets. You can also use our optional installation kit for additional mounting options.
Q: Can I connect multiple sections for a two-story home?
A: Yes! Multiple 8-foot sections (19 cups each) link together easily for taller installations. Two-story homes typically need 2 sections (16 feet, 38 cups total). The sections connect seamlessly, maintaining the beautiful square cup design throughout the entire length.
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 chains.
