Learning About Home Decor Elements

Background noise, white noise, nature sounds, and occupied sound—no matter what you call it, the sound of nature crossing just within earshot is a soothing and serene way to enhance the waking hours. People have both added to nature's beauty and taken away from it a bit, as the modern world of eavestroughs or gutters and pipes have hidden and corrupted the sounds that come from water falling from the roof. Rain chains can deliver a more beautiful sound while continuing practical contributions, and this article can show you how versatile the chains can be.

Practicality And Purpose

With modern homes, gutters and downspouts are used to direct rain away from the roof and against the ground in a controlled fashion. It works for the most part, and reduces the erosion that otherwise scars the ground by beating away at the soil and uprooting grass roots.

The problem is that unless you spend a lot of money, the downspouts aren't very elegant. They're also susceptible to clogging and need some tricky rod work to clean up efficiently. Leaves, branches, and other debris become clogged in the closed spouts, and some downspouts can come apart with too much force.

Rain chains are an open source of guided water routing. The rain is directed down the chain and slowed down to reduce the force of water hitting the ground, and although the decorative options such as petals, leaves, and wings may look for show, they add water control as well.

Therapy Through Whispering Waters

Not all areas have heavy rain water issues. Have you seen a rain chain out in the open or videos of them in action? They look nice and sound nice, and they would be great if the water could be delivered continuously.

Well, why not make it happen?

You don't have to purchase rain chains just to protect your soil or decorate your gutters. A landscaping plan with just a little water delivery can give you a stream of clear waters dancing down rain chains with the cherished sound of running water, and there are many ways to approach water delivery.

One option would be a low power water pump with a hose that enters the top of the rain chain. The hose can be decorated as well, such as artificial ivy or a coating that covers its manufactured nature. Another option would be to connect the rain chains to a hose and allowing a slow trickle. Recycled water is best for water conversation, and a hardware store, landscaping professional, or pond management professional may have some ideas.
