apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

its beautiful yes, but with the economy the way it is and the price copper is goign for, i don't know how long that will stay there.

somebody gave us one and i don't know what they do? what is the point of them?

foodiegirl- rainchains function the same as downspouts - divert water out from gutters. You should definitely install yours if you haven't already.

They are much better looking than downspouts, make a nice sound when water is flowing down, and look really pretty with frozen water. Yes, they are more expensive than downspouts, but you can also get them in materials other than copper like brass or aluminum. We typically only use them at the front elevation of the house where they are most visible.

We have received many complements on ours over the past year. Well worth every dime!

Fine for the colder months, but once it warms up it'll be a mosquito breeding ground if it doesnt rain for a week.

Rachelw thanks for the response. Will definitely put up on the house! :)
