Monarch Aluminum Teardrop Rain Chain , 8-1/2-Feet Length (Flat Black Powder Coated)

The Monarch Aluminum Teardrop Rain Chain is a stylish and unassuming solution to traditional downspouts. It is made of solid copper and has a nice patina finish. It comes in an 8.5 feet length, and it's easy to shorten or extend by adding more chains with the given connector ring of aluminum. It also includes a gutter reducer that measures 5.5"(L) x 4.25"(W) x 3"(H) and fits in standard size gutters. However, it is possible to trim/cut it down to size. The rain chain can handle heavy rain and wind, and homeowners can even link two to three sets together to form a longer chain. Despite its beautiful design, the Monarch Aluminum Teardrop Rain Chain received mixed reviews from customers. Some say it is a beautiful addition to their home and has worked perfectly. For example, someone replaced their ugly downspout with it, and it performed well during a 6-inch downpour. Another customer even drilled numerous holes in the bottom of a pot and buried it into a drain field, and the chain water cascades down, disappearing into the container without overflowing. However, some customers complained that it does not perform well with heavy rain. One homeowner installed it to their porch but found it gets overwhelmed by the water, splashing all over and defeating the purpose. Another customer complained that when attached with an adapter, some water can escape through the hole, missing the chain and splashing against the house. Overall, the Monarch Aluminum Teardrop Rain Chain is a durable and stylish solution to traditional gutter downspouts. It has some Pros and Cons that homeowners should Consider before purchasing.
