Tama Stainless Steel Rain Chain – Tube – Dark Brown

Tama is a rain chain made of linked, round, ball-shaped cups. The deep Dark Brown finish blends beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone, serving as a calm accent. It fits well with traditional Japanese homes or houses with gardens. Even in modern buildings with many straight lines, it softens the overall look of the exterior.

Description

Tama features a series of round, sphere-shaped cups. When it rains, water flows through the inside of each part, passing through the center as it travels down. The internal structure is the same as our tube and bamboo types, ensuring the water stays contained and falls in a controlled stream without splashing too much.

The soft, rounded shape adds a gentle accent to the building's exterior. The Dark Brown color blends easily with surrounding materials and scenery, giving the overall exterior a calm and composed impression.

On sunny days, it stands as a memorable accent, and on rainy days, the visible flow of water transforms the look of your home.

Rain Chains Crafted from Stainless Steel (SUS304)

The stainless steel used in authentic Seo Rain Chain designs is known as SUS304, or 18-8 Stainless. This is an alloy of iron mixed with 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Chromium creates a protective layer that prevents rust, while nickel adds toughness. This gives the metal flexibility and ensures it resists cracking, providing long-term stability outdoors.

You likely see SUS304 often in daily life. It is used in water-related products like kitchen sinks, pots, and silverware. Because it resists rust, stays clean, and keeps a beautiful shine, it is perfect for rain chains exposed to rain, humidity, and sunlight.

At Seo Rain Chain, we apply a hairline finish to soften the reflection and highlight the metal’s texture. We also add a ceramic-based clear coating. This enhances resistance to weather and moisture, protecting the chain from UV rays. This preserves the metal’s natural beauty while ensuring a durable finish for years of worry-free use.

Silver

This finish keeps the natural look of stainless steel. It feels light and modern, and it fits many styles of architecture. It also holds its shine well outdoors. Compared with an aluminum rain chain, it can feel a bit more solid, which pairs nicely with modern exteriors.

Support

Can I install the rain chain myself?

Working at heights on a roof can be dangerous, so we recommend hiring a professional roofer. However, some models are easier to install if you feel comfortable doing so yourself.

Please review our How To Install page to decide. If you are replacing a pipe downspout, you will need to remove or cut the pipe, so we recommend a professional for that task.

When will my order arrive?

If your item is in stock, we typically assemble and ship it within one week. (Hamon models may take up to three weeks). Once shipped, we will send you a tracking number so you can see exactly when it will arrive.
Note: If an item is out of stock, we handcraft it to order, which takes 3 to 4 months. Please order early if you have a specific deadline.

Can I adjust the length of the chain?

Yes, we can make the chain to your desired length. Lengthening it yourself is difficult and may cause it to detach, so we suggest ordering a slightly longer chain and cutting it on-site.

If you are unsure about the length (especially when converting from feet), please contact us for advice.

Connecting Method for Extending Toh, Ta-ke, and Tama.

Please note that the price changes based on length.
