Rain chains originated in Japan hundreds of years ago and were used on traditional Japanese houses and temples. They are widely used in Japan nowadays. Our Lotus pure copper rain chain is a functional and aesthetic alternative to downspouts. You can sit, relax and enjoy the sound and visual of the water falling in a beautiful cascade while it rains. With this hand made rain chain the water will be directed away from your house and redirected to the ground. Water can also be collected in a watering can, rain barrel or basin. Rainwater is great for watering plants, among other uses, and copper is a sustainable material and is safe and clean to collect rainwater. This copper rain chain is hand crafted with Lotus shaped cups, optimally spaced to diverse the water, and heavy duty link chains. The chains are adjustable and allow for links to be removed, change the placement of the cups and connect more chains (two or more chains can be connected for two or more story houses). The installation is very simple and easy. We will send you a universal V hook that sits in the gutter hole. No tools or adaptors are needed. If you live in a very windy area were recommend to hook the rain chain to the ground to prevent swaying (hook to the ground not included) or you can add an anchor basin. Our solid copper rain chains are strong, durable and maintenance free. Copper will create a natural patina over time and exposure which will give it a rustic look, but it will not rust. They are meant to last a lifetime. 🍃 Buying options and what's included: * Rain chain only: Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) * Rain chain + Adapter: Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) + Solid copper gutter adapter * Rain chain + 11" Basin: Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) + 11" Solid copper anchor basin * Rain chain + 18" Basin: Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) + 18" Solid copper anchor basin * Full set (11" Basin): Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) + Solid copper gutter adapter + 11" Solid copper anchor basin * Full set (18" Basin): Rain chain of your choice (6.5 ft or 8.5 ft) + Solid copper gutter adapter + 18" Solid copper anchor basin Note that the adapter and anchor basin are optional and not required to install or use your rain chain, however, they are very useful to secure it and minimize water splashing. 🍃 Features * Made of pure untreated copper * Cup measurements: 2.5" L x 2.25" H * 2 different overall lengths: 6.5 ft and 8.5 ft. * Copper gutter adapter measurements: Top opening - 2", Bottom opening 1.75" (Overall measurements 5.0"Lx 3.5"W x 3"H) * 11" Anchor basin measurements: 11"D x 2"H (includes 12" copper link chain) * 18" Anchor basin measurements: 18"D x 3"H (includes 12" copper link chain) 🍃 More rain chains here >> https://etsy.me/3oDoksR 🍃 More Bonsai Republic here >> www.bonsairepublic.etsy.com Bonsai Republic is a family business and we have been creating art, decorating gardens and cultivating bonsai trees, succulents, orchids and other plants and trees for many years.
