Rainwater playfully dances and flows down these handcrafted copper channels as it is guided from the rooftop to the ground. Attach the rain chain to the bracket through the underside of the downspout opening using sturdy wire, an “S” hook, or slide the chain onto the bracket.įinishing TouchesTraditionally rain chains are secured to the ground in a shallow pit filled with decorative rocks, but you can get more creative.Originating hundreds of years ago in Japan, Rain Chains are a decorative alternative to the plain gutter downspout we’ve all become accustomed to. Rest the bracket across the gutter with the "v" placed down through the downspout opening.Ĩ. (Rain chain gutter clips can also be purchased online.)ħ. Next bend each side so that the ends are long enough to securely rest on either side of the downspout opening. Create a bracket from the metal strip by bending it first into a “v” shape. Before attaching your rain chain to your gutter, if you have a downspout attached you will need to remove it.Ħ. Snip the two ends off then tuck and wrap the remaining wire in towards the chain link.ĥ. Loop the wire through a link and twist the two wires together until you have about a half inch of twisted wire. Use enough wire that you will have two even lengths left to loop through a chain link in the next step.Ĥ. To attach objects, loop wire through the hook, through the object if there is a natural hole, or wrap it around the object. This way you can assess the overall look as you go.ģ.
