PRO /Wyant Architecture There is a grate-covered concrete basin to catch the water beneath the river rock visible in the photo. From there, water is carried via PVC pipe to daylight well away and downhill from the house. -custom designed using standard galvanized steel chain link / online search for 'rain chains', you will find vendors that sell various chains and components required to connect to your drainage system. Rain chains carry rain water from roof gutters to the ground, hence the name. They have been used in traditional Japanese architecture for centuries and they really work, although in heavy rains there is definitely more splashing than you would have with a typical downspout. In order to prevent staining and water damage, we would only recommend using where the chain can be held away from the house. They can be very beautiful in the appropriate situation, with the water being both visible and audible as it travels down the chain. "Is this rock bed connected to the perimeter drain?" -There is a catch basin beneath the river rock visible in the photo. From there, water is collected and carried via PVC pipe to daylight, well away and down-hill from the house .
