Secure a Downspout

8 years ago

Hi,

My Mom has a mfg. home with a 3 season room. I'm not sure why they call it that, in Northern Ohio you're lucky to get 4 months out of it..............anyway. There is a downspout on the corner of the 3 season room and there's not much to secure it to, because there are windows which take up most of the wall space. (see pictures). There just isn't any easy way to secure the downspout.


The other challenge with the downspout is that the yard/grass around or about a yard around the 3 season room angles back towards the house, so I had to put a 3 foot extension at the end of the downspout, to adequately drain the water out that far, otherwise it will flow back towards the house and pool at the base of the 3 season room.


QUESTION: How can I secure the downspout (with it's somewhat lengthy extension) to the outside of the three season room?


What about building something at the bottom of the downspout where it angles to hold it up (almost like a truss or trellis)?


Thanks,

Alex
