Hi All;
Liz makes beautiful 8' long rain chains to replace your gutter downspout.
She could only sell them in person as she could not get any good photo's.
She recently hired a professional photographer to give it a try.
We are pretty happy with his results!
Here is a link to her shop.

Getting one of these is on my wish list when my house is done. I've bookmarked her site. Her stuff is lovely, Thomas!

Would someone be willing to post a link to video of a rain chain in action?
Do we consider rain chains a subset of electroculture?
Is there any evidence of lightning scarred rain chains?

I love a rain chain.  This is even more beautiful than the ones I've seen in the shops.

Earlier today I was contemplating how to make a rain chain. No hope of making any as lovely as these ones...

Beautiful work.  Good luck getting some sales.

One thing I always wonder about, does a rain chain have to be vertical, or could it have a gentle slope?

Thank you for sharing.  I love rocks and those are pretty rocks.

It would be fun to sit and watch how the rain trickles down to find those rocks.
 
I agree. Here's the link: https://woodheat.net
