Hi,
I've just stopped partway through putting guttering on the newly fitted porch having remembered once seeing someone with a 'rain chain' on a house (where it added a bit of architectural appeal). Something like this:
Whilst my house is nothing like that above, I didn't want to fix a downpipe off my nice oak pillars, but I'm not that happy with how returning the gutter back to the house wall and then into a downpipe looks either (hence downing tools and carry out a bit of surfing).
There seem to be an array of novelty chains for this purpose - however I'm picturing a plain 6 or 8mm thick stainless or black chain coming down from the front corner, but am wondering how this would terminate in to soil pipe. Has anyone got any experience of this? I'm can't think that there will ever be a lot of water in any case.
Current setup...
