Good Directions 100% Pure Copper Pineapple Rain Chain, 8-1/2 Feet Long, Artistically Designed, Replaces Gutter Downspout

The media could not be loaded.  Works well, much nicer than a downspout, neighbors have liked it as well…

I have bee procrastinating putting a gutter on my front porch for several years. When I realized I did have the money to do it I pulled the trigger. When I saw the pineapple rain chain I was hooked. I then had to figure out how to attach it to my 22' gutter (which gets 400+SF of roof) without overwhelming it in Florida rain. I drilled 15 1/4" holes over the spout to restrict flow and it works great. The other end is a 4x3 downspout.I am a little disappointed in the rain chain. The pineapples are hand crafted in India and highly polished. They are made of brass tubing and re-re-re-recycled copper soldered together. Craftsmanship is acceptable at this price point. The chain is thin re-re-re-recycled copper tubing bent into shape. I am surprised it holds the weight of the whole chain. I drilled 1/16" holes into the bottom of the links to prevent them from retaining water. That was a difficult task. I shortened the links between pineapples from 6 to 4. I measured the chain and it was not 8.5' long. I got barely 8'3" out of it. Luckily I didn't need all 8.5'. I added a cup at the top to better divert water into the pineapples. I expect the pineapples to last awhile, but i am not to confident in the chain. The included hanger and hook are not copper. They are aluminum painted the color of corroded copper. Not too happy with that little bit of deception.I expect to need to remove it in very stormy weather. It does splash quite a bit (less because of the cone I added) onto the front porch column. It is less than driving rain, but I may need to repaint the CMU column a bit more often.Overall, I love the pineapples. I'm still looking for a way to terminate the chain that will not be damaged by my hose or mower or children (wishful thinking). They started weathering as soon as they were wet. The copper is developing a nice brown patina. The brass may take awhile.

Delightful! Developed a perfect patina. So relaxing to watch the water go over it!

These are absolutely the cutest rain chains ever! They are also very sturdy and have held up well, even in heavy downpours. Easy to install and adjust. Everyone who sees them wants to know where I found them. I love going out on the lanai and watching them during a rain storm - very soothing!

I love this and so glad I got it. What a beautiful, functional accent to our home. It looks so pretty with the water going down it. The chain is quite sturdy.

We love the look. The pineapples are large and this chain does not look flimsy like many we have see. It makes a beautiful waterfall sound when it rains.

Looks great and works perfect during sprinkles and steady rains, but if you get a down pour the water goes all over the place!

Item as described, quality product. Has tarnished slightly, as to be expected. Pineapples are about the size of your hand and has 4 per 8’.

Water spashes all over

They tend to spray water out and not down the chain as expected
