I recently installed a copper funnel Japanese rain chain for use near my front door.Copper Funnel Rain Chain. I had never even heard of these things until a couple of years ago when I was trying to get some information about rain gutters off the internet. I saw quite a few links to Japanese rain chains and not knowing what they were I clicked on some of the links. I was really impressed with the idea and the various designs of them. Nobody I talked to had even heard of them so I wouldnt be suprised if I were the only one in the tri-county area that even has one. Well I might be exagerating about the tri-county area but I have yet to see one for sale at a "brick and morter" store. Anyway I went ahead and purchased my rain gutters and installed them myself and used the rain chain for the downspout on my front door overhang. For some reason I thought they would be bigger, maybe the size of coffee cans but they arne't. The top of the funnel measures three and one quarter inches across. I ended up replacing the section of gutter that I have the rain chain on because the downspout fitting was kind of cheesy looking so I got a new section and cut it to length (6 feet) and put the end caps on it. Instead of using a downspout fitting I just drilled a 1 1/4 inch hole in it. I had to modify the copper wire hanger piece but thats easy enough to do. All you need is a pliers. The rain chain was longer than I needed so I just removed some of the cups to get the length I needed. It started raining an hour after I installed it so I got to see it in action and it works great. As a matter of fact it's raining right now so I took a picture and will post it later. As for ordering it from Amazon.com I am once again a happy camper or customer as the case may be. They have never let me down.

Purchased the funnel style to replace a "double loop" type originally purchased. The double loop splashes much more than the funnel type. We wanted more control of the water. The funnel style is far superior in this regard.

It is very expensive compared to a standard gutter down tube, but it creates a very unique look.These look really great in the winter when the ice builds up between links in the chain. And when it is raining they sound like a soft babbling brook--but not loud enough to be annoying.So far we haven't had any problems with durability. They handle heavy rain, and ice buildup without any problem. When it rains really hard they cups overflow a bit, but the majority of the water lands within a foot or so of the bottom. They are not very heavy, and we haven't had any leaves cause blockages.
