Three Simple Steps to Install Your Rain Chain
Step 1: Connect at the Top
The Gutter Outlet included with your rain chain connects directly to the eave trough above.
Please note: The included Gutter Outlet fits K-Style Gutters only. For Half-Round Gutters, the steps are different — see "Type-Specific Installation Methods" below.
Step 2: Adjust the Length
Once the chain is hung, check how close the bottom end sits to the ground. If it touches, trim the excess with a Bolt Cutter.
A helpful tip: Extending a rain chain after cutting requires special work. Before you order, measure from your eave trough
down to the ground — then add a little extra length to give yourself room to trim on-site.
Step 3: Anchor the Bottom
Once the chain is hung, check how close the bottom end sits to the ground. If it touches, trim the excess with a Bolt Cutter.
