Rain Chain Installation

What This Service Involves

Rain chains guide water down a series of linked cups or links, turning roof runoff into a visible feature that fits the garden-forward Northwest aesthetic. They work best at entryways and courtyards where the flow can be appreciated and directed into a basin or drainage bed. We anchor the chain securely at the gutter outlet and set a proper catch point so the substantial volume our storms produce is managed rather than splashed everywhere. Paired with a basin or rain garden, they blend drainage with landscape design.

Benefits

Adds a decorative water feature that fits Northwest gardens; channels runoff visibly from gutter to basin or bed; pairs naturally with rain gardens and courtyards; quieter, softer alternative to enclosed downspouts; securely anchored to handle real rainfall volume

Our Process

1) Select chain style and identify the outlet location; 2) Install an outlet fitting to guide water onto the chain; 3) Anchor the chain and set a basin or drainage catch; 4) Test flow to confirm water is managed, not splashing

What Affects the Cost

Chain style and material selected; outlet fitting and anchoring hardware; basin or rain garden catch at the base; height of the run; how it integrates with existing drainage

Best Time of Year

Install in the dry season so the basin and drainage bed can be set before the rains.
