Slotted Square Cups Rain Chain

Assembly is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. You will need to connect the individual cups using the provided upper wires and nuts, which are shipped separately to ensure the copper remains pristine during transit.

Yes, because this is pure, untreated copper, it will continue to develop a natural patina as it is exposed to the elements. The pre-aged finish provides an antique look immediately, but the metal will evolve further based on your local climate and humidity.

The slotted square cup design is specifically engineered to manage high volumes of water. The folded lip at the top of each cup adds structural integrity and helps direct the water flow downward, making it effective even during heavy storms.

Each unit includes a matching V-hook designed to sit securely within your gutter opening. This hook acts as the anchor point, allowing the chain to hang straight and handle the weight of the water flow.

The standard 8-foot length includes 19 individual hand-welded cups. If you choose a longer configuration, the number of cups will increase proportionally to maintain the consistent spacing and design aesthetic.

The square shape provides a wider profile that can be visually striking, while the slotted cutouts allow for a unique cascading water effect. Functionally, the bottom opening of 1 5/8 inches ensures that water transitions efficiently from one cup to the next.
