  • Left Tool has a strange gutter situation on one corner of his porch. He solves it with a rain chain drain. He went with a rain chain drain because he didn't like the way a gutter looked in this spot.

    Like JIBBS once said "do your chains hang low do they wobble to the floor". I think I might need to add that to my backyard. Cheers dude

    Dang that's a lot of weight hanging from your gutter. The chains, plus the weight of the water, I'm surprised it didn't rip the gutters right off.

  • @jasoncourtright3978

    add about 6" of down spout to where the chain attaches... will clean up the look a little more and also should funnel the water better to the chain.

      Yes, that is what I did with mine. I have brown gutters and looks great with the aged copper chains.

  • @capt_ramius
    @capt_ramius 4 роки тому +2

    Interesting idea! Wonder if you could add a 3-6” section of downspout at the top (attached to the “downspout mouth” with the chains coming through) to further direct/guide the water down the chain?

      I wondered the same. Maybe even pointed in at the bottom a bit like a funnel??

    looks cool, I like the fish at the bottom. I have chains on all down spouts of my home here in Dominican Republic, I also had chais on my home in Costa Rica. Kind of s.o.p. in both places to use chains rather than downspouts. Only diference it using only one but much larger gauge chain. Most often it is done with very thick plastic chain given the weight of the metal chain. There are also people who use the little buckets all linked togehter, those are kind of coolish too.

      I have seen the little buckets or funnels. Some look good! I have also seen one with little cylinders down a chain that was my favorite.

    • @andrewkirwan517
      @andrewkirwan517 4 роки тому

      I don’t know why I have not tried some different types around my outdoor kitchen. Labor is so freaking cheap to get some kind of bucket style unique thing. But I don’t think any type would keep up with the tropical storm directly above me as I type this.

    never do anything I suggest.. but, what if the gutter had regular “gutter” for a short distance at the top just to get the water flowing downward? Can you get anywhere near it holding a large 🧲? As always thanks for another great video gentlemen!

    • @TheLawnTools

  • @mikebennett146
    @mikebennett146 3 роки тому

    Good idea, But maybe a regular rain downspout is better after all. The whole purpose of a closed aluminum pipe is for no water spillage. One can decorate the downspout or hide it in some ornamental column. If you make the top water outlet a bit smaller and the water collection opening larger u can drain all the water to the street pipes. Any way one looks at it, chains will disperse the vertical flow of the water a bit outwards. I know in many Asian countries, in small villages they use very thick ropes made of bamboo/jute etc as rain gutter downspouts. The gutter openings they create at the top of them is very precise in size in relation to the rope thickness, and they work perfectly with no spillage. They also use huge bamboo shoots for rain gutters and 'closed' gutter downspouts. Incredibly strong & rigid.
