Case Collection: Installation of Rain Chains and Ground Connections

How you finish the base of a rain chain greatly influences its overall atmosphere. If you are going to install a rain chain, why not pay attention to the ground connection to enhance its completeness? There are various ways to do it, so let's match it to the atmosphere and preferences of the building. Changing just the base of an installed rain chain can significantly alter its appearance. This article introduces examples with photos.

1. Using Plants:

The combination of rain chains and plants works very well, utilizing vegetation to create a natural connection between the rain chain and the ground. This method not only prevents water splashing with the plants but also provides an aesthetically pleasing finish. However, since a lot of water flows around the rain chain, it's important to be mindful of soil erosion.

2. Using Stone Basins:

This method uses specially selected natural stone basins. By utilizing natural stone without altering it, you can create a natural atmosphere. In the example, an anchor is driven into the stone basin to secure the lower end of the rain chain, and drainage is handled through a ground drain.

3. Using Basins:

Connecting black granite or brass basins to the rain chain achieves a sophisticated appearance. At SEO RAIN CHAIN, we proudly create basins that match the designs of respective rain chains.

4. Using Anchors and Gravel:

By installing an anchor in the ground and covering the surrounding area with stones or gravel, you can prevent water splashing while adding visual appeal. Well planned proper installation can almost eliminate water splashing entirely.

5. Using Water Basins:

Connecting the rain chain directly to a water basin allows the ripples created by the droplets hitting the water surface to bring out a new charm in the rainwater chain. However, it is important to note that keeping water in the basin can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, so please choose with caution.

6. Other Methods:

Another approach is creating a pond and directing the water flow into it. This method allows appreciating the ripples on the water surface when the flow of water is appropriate and the wind is not strong. Alternatively, you can install a drainage outlet under a deck for the rain chain. In any case, it is essential to secure the rain chain to prevent it from swinging in the wind.

 As shown above, we have presented six patterns for your consideration. With various methods available for finishing the base of rain chains, please choose the option that best fits your preferences and the installation location.
