Here we'll explain why some competitors' products are so much cheaper than the ones we make at RainChains.com. We realize that on the internet it's often difficult to see the real differences, especially when product descriptions can be misleading.

Here is a rain chain advertised as "copper patina finish" and with "excellent function".

With the thin loops and large size, this will simply not carry water to the ground without splashing all over the place.

But wait, there's more. It turns out these loops, which appear to be solid, are tubes -- not much material there at all!

And finally, we scraped off some of the "patina" to reveal they are in fact made of aluminum, not copper!
