Many of our homeowners are aware that downspouts are a critical piece to continue to collection and flow of water, and dispersing it away from the home. Yet, fewer are familiar with the alternatives. A rain chain can function the same as downspout, but can enhance the charm and character of home and speak to a homeowner’s personality more.
Rain chains also can be part of a larger harvesting system, which we’ll tell you more about.
Soothing Sounds and a Strong History
Before we get into all the benefits of rain chains, let us first tell you about the origin of rain chains. Originally referred to as “kusari doi,” these simple yet decorative pieces decorated the temples, gardens and prominent homes throughout Japan for hundreds of years. Known for their ability to blend practicality and beauty, these rain accessories were incorporated to create a sense of calm, and add to the natural beauty of these respected and revered spaces.
As the water gently rushed down the connective piece, it often augmented a sense of energy and tranquility for all to enjoy. While many people enjoy the sound of rain tapping on the windows, the rain chain also can enhance the natural melodies and improve the beauty of an otherwise dreary day.
Intricate and Elegant Designs
In addition to creating a lovely sound, rain chains can add to the personality of a home. Placed in the corners and along the sides of a home, these often hang much like wind chimes and bird feeders – creating a look that is picture-perfect every time you look out the window. When the rain rolls in, the water easily flows down and follows the rain chain pattern to protect their home and landscaping.
One of the reasons homeowners love to include rain chains into their system is because of the many options and designs that are available. Each rain chain can increase to the look of a home, showing off the homeowner’s personality whether it be quirky, elegant or modern. You can choose a series of intricately crafted flowers or leaves that makes any garden feel whimsical and romantic. Or choose a bamboo-based cup to keep your natural elements prominent. Or choose an elegant copper bell to create a rustic charm to your home’s exterior. No matter what look you want to achieve, we can help you find a type that suits your vision and makes you smile every time you look at it.
Harvesting and Reuse
Beyond the appearance, one of the reasons homeowners select a rain chain is because of its environmentally friendly qualities. In connection with a collection basin, barrel or bowl, a lot of people who are interested in making greener choices to their everyday life choose to develop a complete harvesting system. Because rainwater is relatively clean, and is a free source of water it is ideal for those looking to reuse this abundant source.
Many people who garden choose a rain chain and harvesting system because it is inexpensive and easy to maintain. It can be used to help vegetables grow, flowers bloom and birds bathe. A simple watering can or release valve gives you access to all of your stored rain water, so it’s easy for household chores.
When you choose rain chains and collection devices, you are making a smart choice for your home and your finances. Not only is it saving you money from your water bill, but it also can be less expensive than the traditional downspout.
