Wherever the bottom of the rain chain hangs is where you will want to place your basin. Keep in mind your basin or dish will have to be sitting on a solid surface in order for it to function properly. If you've purchased one of the basins or dishes that comes with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onemarketes.shop\/products\/loop-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eLoop-Kit\u003c\/a\u003e, you'll have a 1-foot length of Copper Accessory Chain, this is what you’ll use to attach your rain chain to the basin or dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSecond Step:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onemarketes.shop\/products\/copper-accessory-chain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCopper Accessory Chain\u003c\/a\u003e is easily pliable, so you'll be able to open one of the links in the chain that best fits where your rain chain ends. Then you'll attach the Copper Accessory Chain link to the last link or cup in your rain chain. Simply bend the chain link back closed to complete the attachment process. Feel free to remove any extra Copper Accessory Chain links if necessary and keep them as spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure you don't pull your rain chain too tight, because the extra tension could cause damage to the chain or your gutter overtime. If you leave too much slack, the rain chain could swing in the wind and cause damage. Make sure the chain hangs freely with a little slack in the chain, but not enough to hit anything when the wind blows. If you need extra accessory chain, we sell it in several different lengths separately. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThird Step:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRain chain basins and dishes alone are usually not enough weight to hold down some of our larger rain chains in storms. We suggest filling the basins with decorative rocks to weigh them down and secure your rain chain in place. Many customers like to add drainage holes in the basins, so water will filter out after rainstorms!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow sit back, relax, and admire your beautiful rain chain! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onemarketes.shop\/collections\/rain-chain-accessories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick Here to Shop Accessories!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"five columns omega\" style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1409\/0164\/products\/hammered-aluminum-dishw-loop-lifestyle_2048x.jpg?v=1643931941\" style=\"margin-top: 25px; margin-left: 25px; float: none;\" alt=\"Rain Chain Anchor Basin Installation\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","created_at":"2022-02-08T10:56:26-05:00","published_at":"2022-02-08T10:56:26-05:00","updated_at":"2022-03-10T16:09:10-05:00","handle":"installing-a-rain-chain-basin","title":"Installing a Rain Chain Basin"}}
