Rain Chains Make Ordinary Rainy Days Go Away

If you're looking to add a melodious sound to your garden while leading rain water down to your rain barrel or decorative ceramic bowl, then look no further; a rain chain may be the unique item you're looking for. Rain chains are chain links with decorative trinkets or cups attached to them that allow for rain water to catch along the links and cups, creating a lovely sound and display on ordinary rainy days. Originating in Japan and called "Kusari Doi," these beautiful rain chains are presently used as an alternative to household rain gutters and pipes. The history of these wonderful rain chains date back hundreds of years, where Japanese households and temples would utilize them for collecting water and saving it for later use.

simply hang the chain from the hole where the spout was originally located. If the hole is much too big for the chain to hang from, you can usually order or purchase a special kit to reduce the size of the hole.
