How To Attach A Rain Chain To The Gutter

Dig a hole slightly wider than the width of your pot and at least 6 deep directly underneath the downspout outlet.

How to attach a rain chain to the gutter.

Once you know the length remove the existing downspout. Inside the gutter hole insert the gutter bracket or v hook. Add a bead of silicone on the bottom of the gutter installer plate before installing. Release the chain and let it hang from the gutter.

Hang the rain chain. Our rain chain was a little short so we had to loop a piece of copper wire to the last square and then loop it around one of the slots in the catch basin cover plate. A bigger hole needs to be created if the drain hole is too small. Fill the hole with the stone.

If additional length is needed attach a second rain chain and fit to desired length. Flip the pot upside. From there attach your rain chain. Using the hole saw drill a hole in the gutter where you want the rain chain to hang.

Hang the rain chain using the pin and not the additional hook that was provided. Decide where the rain chain will be hung and install a downspout outlet in the gutter in the desired location. Always use extra care when working on a ladder. For the end of the chain where it meets the ground you ve got options.
