Vinyl Downspout Gutter/Drain Extension, 46 -Long, Brown

Rain running off the roof can dig deep trenches right by the foundation wall if the elbow drops it straight down. This brown vinyl sleeve slides over the metal spout to guide the stream out toward the grass. It unrolls on its own when the water builds up and stays low enough for the lawnmower to pass over without catching.

Slips over the spout

The flexible vinyl sleeve pulls right over standard rectangular gutter elbows. It stays put while water fills the length, directing roof drainage away from basement walls and flower borders.

Gentle soaking end

Small holes across the far end let the gathered water seep out slowly like a soaker hose. It prevents the sudden washouts and mud ruts that hard plastic extenders leave in soft turf.

Out of the mower path

The flat brown vinyl lies close to the dirt and unrolls as the downspout fills. When the rain stops, it flattens down so the lawn can be cut without moving heavy metal pipes.

Weatherproof brown vinyl

The thick vinyl material holds up to heavy downpours and hot sun along the foundation. Miles Kimball has kept this practical yard helper in the catalog for many seasons.
