How To Avoid Rain Chain Installation Delays

Rain chains are not only a beautiful alternative to traditional downspouts, but they also serve as an effective way to guide rainwater from your gutters to the ground, an underground drain, basin, or rain barrel.

Before scheduling your gutter installation, it’s essential to ensure you’ve received and confirmed the fit of your rain chains. During the busy season, rain chains can take approximately 7-10 business days to be packed and shipped. This is due to high order volume and the time-consuming nature of packaging these handmade products.

Here’s why it's always best to order your rain chains before booking your gutter installers:

1. Ensure the Perfect Fit:

Every home is unique, and so are your rain chain needs. By ordering your rain chains ahead of time, you can assess whether they complement the style of your home and check if the length and installation mechanisms are appropriate for your gutters. It’s much easier to make adjustments or order extensions before your gutters are installed rather than trying to adapt your setup on the fly.

2. Avoid Delays:

Waiting until the last minute to order your rain chains can cause installation delays. If the rain chains don't arrive in time, your gutter installer may have to install a temporary downspout, which would require them to come back for an additional visit. This not only disrupts the installation process but may also incur extra costs. By having the rain chains on hand beforehand, you can keep your project on schedule.

3. Make Installation Stress-Free:

Having your rain chains ready allows the installer to seamlessly integrate them into the overall gutter system. They can ensure that the chain is properly aligned with the gutter, allowing for smooth water flow and preventing potential drainage issues. When the rain chains arrive beforehand, you can verify that all components are in place, ensuring a smooth, stress-free installation day.

4. Give Yourself Time to Adjust:

Ordering ahead of time gives you the flexibility to exchange the product, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied with your choice. Without this buffer, you might end up compromising on the final look or functionality.

When planning your gutter installation, ordering your rain chains ahead of time is a smart move. It ensures you get the right product, keeps your installation on schedule, and allows you to enjoy your new rainwater system as soon as it's installed. Don’t wait until the last minute, order your rain chains now, and enjoy peace of mind when your gutter installers arrive.
