Rain chains date back centuries — instead of hiding rainwater inside a plastic pipe, they guide it down from cup to cup in a little waterfall you can watch from the kitchen window. This one is crafted from coated iron in a warm antiqued-copper finish, with twelve basket-weave cups that catch the light even on dry days. Hang it where a downspout used to be, or from any gutter corner, and the next rainy morning becomes something to look forward to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove your existing downspout (or choose a gutter corner).
