How To Install A Rain Chain

It should hook right into the downspout outlet.

How to install a rain chain. Inside the gutter hole insert the gutter bracket or v hook. When installing your rain chain use a tape measure to determine the distance from the existing rain gutter to the ground. And you re right in the winter it looks just as great. We used the gutter installer for a more finished look and it just sits in the downspout hole from the top.

I then hooked the top of the hanger wire in the bottom cup of the rain chain. Then measure the distance between the bottom of the gutter and the ground to determine how much chain you need. Dig a hole slightly wider than the width of your pot and at least 6 deep. Once you know the length remove the existing downspout.

Most rain chains usually come with specific installation instructions. From there attach your rain chain. If you re using a gutter clip simply attach it to the chain and hang the chain from the gutter. I can even add small decorations to the planter in the summer.

To install a chain first remove your downspout. Next hang the rain chain. Looks great and works well. Decide where the rain chain will be hung and install a downspout outlet in the gutter in the desired location.

Remove the entire downspout and install the rain chain in the hole where the gutter was attached. 1 use weight for stability. Once the rain chain is hung put the chain in the pot and fill the pot about three quarters of the way with the stone. Mainly there are two methods to stabilize the rain chain.

Fill the pot the rest of the way with the river stones. If additional length is needed attach a second rain chain and fit. If it is not stabilized strong wind or rain will swing the rain chain and may damage the building and in other instances the rain chain itself could be damaged. That anchors the rain chain and keeps it from flailing all over the place when it rains.

2 stick an anchor into the ground and tie it to the bottom end of the rain chain.
