Link Thickness 7/16 inch 11mm Heavy-duty construction for durability

Installation Guide - How to Install the Rain Drop Link Rain Chain:

  1. Measure Installation Height: Measure from the gutter outlet to the ground or basin where water will be directed. Add 6 inches clearance above the ground or basin to prevent the chain from resting on the surface.
  2. Calculate Sections Needed: Divide the total height by 8 feet and round up. Each 8-foot section includes 54 rain drop links. Multiple sections can be connected for taller installations.
  3. Remove Existing Downspout: If replacing an existing downspout, disconnect and remove the downspout from the gutter outlet. The gutter outlet hole should be approximately 2-3 inches in diameter for the V-hook.
  4. Prepare the Gutter Outlet: Clean the gutter outlet area of debris. If the outlet has a drop that extends below the gutter, the V-hook can rest inside or the drop can be removed for direct chain hanging.
  5. Attach the V-Hook: The included matching V-hook attaches at the top of the rain chain. Insert the V-hook through the gutter outlet hole so the hook portion rests on the gutter rim and the chain hangs freely below.
  6. Connect Additional Sections: For installations taller than 8 feet, connect additional sections by linking the bottom of one section to the top of the next. The links interlock without additional hardware.
  7. Position Ground Drainage: At the base of the rain chain, position a rain basin, decorative rocks, splash block, or direct water to existing drainage. The chain should hang 6 inches above the ground or basin surface.
  8. Test Water Flow: Run water through the gutter system and observe the cascade effect through the rain chain. Verify water flows smoothly along the teardrop links and drains properly at the base. Adjust chain position if needed.

Pro Tip: For windy locations, secure the bottom of the rain chain with a ground anchor or decorative rain basin stake (sold separately). The V-hook should rest securely on the gutter rim - verify the connection is stable before leaving the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is included with the rain chain?

Each 8-foot rain chain section includes 54 rain drop links and a matching V-hook for easy gutter connection. The V-hook attaches to the top of the chain and rests on the gutter outlet to hang the chain. Ground stakes, rain basins, and additional mounting hardware are sold separately.

Q: How many links are in each section?

Each 8-foot section includes 54 teardrop-shaped rain drop links with approximately 1.8-inch spacing between links. This high-density design creates a dramatic cascade effect and superior water flow.

Q: Can rain chains handle heavy rainfall?

This makes it ideal for Pacific Northwest heavy rainfall.

Installation Notice

SECURE V-HOOK CONNECTION REQUIRED. Ensure the V-hook rests securely on the gutter rim before completing installation. For windy locations, a ground anchor or basin stake (sold separately) may be needed to stabilize the bottom of the chain. Rain chains direct water in a visible cascade - position ground drainage accordingly to prevent water pooling near foundations. Multiple sections can be connected for taller installations. Test water flow after installation to verify proper cascade effect. The rain chain should hang freely without resting on the ground surface.
