Sure, there's a romance to dancing in the rain, but it can be hard to relax during a downpour when you're preoccupied with planning damage control for your flooded garden. And while your gutters work hard to divert water away from your house, they aren’t the most efficient and can be visually arresting.
Perhaps you're new to rain chain ideas. The Japanese design, called kusari-doi (which literally translates to 'chain gutter'), allows water to cascade down a chain of links. It not only looks more architectural than a gutter but also creates a gentle trickling sound in your garden, like a water feature.
