Enjoying the rain and sounds of falling water is made pleasant with this Rain Chain with Butterfly Pails from Arcadia Garden Products. Whether using the whimsical chain as a downspout replacement or as a vertical water feature, this rain chain is functional and lovely to view in action. Rain chains are used to direct roof run-off water from the gutters enabling the flow to be diverted from the building"™s foundation. For centuries, rain chains have been used this way in Japan while also serving as a decorative but working accessory for rainwater collection. Gardeners will often install rain chains and position watertight urns or rain barrels below. Designed for easy hanging, this rain chain can be used without gutters by placing it at main run-off points to divert the down-falling water. Some people leave the rain chains up during harsh winters to enjoy what becomes an ice sculpture chain. The chain measures 6.5 feet and includes 10 rustic-looking garden pails with butterfly adornments. Featuring a brushed bronze finish, this metal rain chain makes a delightful gift for a gardener or new homeowner.
