How do Rain Chains Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A rain chain does exactly what a regular downspout does. It controls the flow of rainwater and directs it from the roof to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can use it to channel the water away and protect the foundations of your house.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can also use it to gather the water in a rain barrel. Some rain chains have a catch basin at the end to collect water. You can also use a regular container with them.<\/p>\n

Are Rain Chains Effective in Heavy Rain & Winds?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

If you are wondering whether rain chains can work in heavy rain and wind, here is what you need to know:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Heavy Winds:<\/strong> Rain chains are not as effective in heavy winds. Unlike downspouts, they don\u2019t have the support of walls. Therefore, they can be flimsy in heavy winds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Heavy Rains:<\/strong> If your area gets thunderstorms or heavy rains very frequently, rain chains may not be as effective as downspouts.<\/p>\n
