Monarch Rain Chains 18105 Traditional Link, 8.5 Ft Length Rain Chain, Black

The Monarch Rain Chains 18105 Aluminum Traditional Link Rain Chain is a great alternative to traditional downspouts. Made of black powder coated aluminum, it offers a lightweight and attractive option for directing water from gutters. The links are a good size without adding excessive weight. Installation is easy, and the finished look is visually appealing. However, there are a few drawbacks to consider. The chain is susceptible to being blown around by strong winds, so additional weighting and staking may be necessary. Water does not always follow the chain, especially during windy conditions. To address this issue, some customers have found that making a large knot at the top of the chain helps direct the water better. Another concern is that wind can blow the water away from the chain, preventing it from flowing down effectively. Despite these issues, overall customer reviews are positive, with many praising the aesthetics and functionality of the rain chain.
