Copper rain chains are a nice visual addition to already stunning copper gutters. Most of them are around 6 to 8 feet long and are usually about $50 to $100 per chain. They come in designs like links, floral designs, and cups. Sometimes copper rain chains are not made entirely of copper either, but just coated in copper, so double check to make sure you know what you’re getting.
Rain chains have been around for hundreds of years and used on houses in Japan. They only recently have increased in popularity in the United States. They are actually used as a replacement for the downspout. These chains are favored for their visual appeal, which remains simple.
Just like 100% copper gutters, these full copper rain chains will also develop a patina on them given enough time. They look great with almost any type of building, so why not ditch the traditional downspout and work the look of a rain chain into your gutter system!
