Es un salpicadero tremendo. No es adecuada.

It is the perfect water feature.

The media could not be loaded. The photos tell the story. Needed a way to handle the rain water that was collecting in the short section of gutter that runs perpendicular to the house, as water was spilling over the end cap. There is not enough room on the fascia to properly slope the gutter to drain all the way to the left side of the house. A downspout wouldn’t look great at the location where I installed the chain, so I decided to give this a try.The chain is well-made and attractive. I installed the chain differently than the instructions suggested and it works pretty well. You can see in the photo that I made the smallest hole possible using a hole saw to sneak the small end link up through gutter and simply slid a bolt through that link to secure it inside the gutter.The oval shaped adapter is far too large for my gutter, and my gutters are larger than the standard home center width. If you’re going to use (pay for) an adapter, be sure to check measurements prior to purchase.I chose a screw-in dog tie out stake to secure the chain inside the pot ($5 at the blue home center) and the resin whisky barrel ($12) from the same place to provide a place to catch and direct the rain water. I drilled two holes in the barrel...a small one in the center to allow for the stake and another for drainage on the side where I wanted the water to exit.The barrel sits on several inches of stone. I filled it half with stone and about 3” of rubber mulch on top of that. I then made a stone-filled trench that directs the water away from the house. I was most concerned about the drainage and I must say that it is working exactly as intended.In low wind conditions, the chain performs exactly as you see in the video. When windier, more of the water is “scattered” from the chain, but it disperses enough that it doesn’t puddle and still follows my trench.In summary, the chain is great for a specific application like mine, but don’t expect it to replace a downspout on a full section of gutter and to do as good of a job. I think it would perform even better if a proper adapter would have allowed to direct the water further down the chain.No fifth star because the adapter package deal was a bit misleading and useless for me.

Very pleased. Description should state this product includes the flange/adapter to attach to the gutter. Ordered it separately and didn’t need it. Pleasant surprise. Love the look and function.

Tail end needs to be secured in windy conditions
