    Q:My gutters are 5 inches is there an extension for that size brown
    by|Mar 28, 2024
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  The extension fits the downspout. Most common sizes are 2x3 and 3x4 in which both are used on 5" gutter. This item will fit both sizes of pipe. Each end is a different size.

      Q:Why do I have to buy new ones every 2 years? They split easily after 1-2 seasons. Aren't these made for outside exposure?
      by|Feb 21, 2024
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  While we put UV blockers in our Flex-A-Spout products we cannot provide a life expectancy due to the numerous environmental factors for every geographic location. I will send this to our engineering team for them to review.

          Attaches easy to each other and aluminum
          The price is right, but because it's plastic, it can break. I like the flexibility, but don't necessarily need it. It's free delivery so I selected these over aluminum extension and they serve the purpose. Attaches easily to each other, easy to cut, and attaches to aluminum. I've bought 5 for my house.

            I had the exact same problem as everyone else here
            In less than a year all 6 of mine broke right apart on the seams of the accordion part. Like someone perfectly cut the extension in half with perfect cut. A seam in every one of the six just broke right apart and you can not repair them at all. Less than a year and they go in recycle. Thanks other customers! I had little idea what was happening until I saw the exact same thing was happening to everyone else.

              Beware : Fell Apart on First Use - Made Cheaper
              Bought a few of these prior to Covid - they lasted about 5 years. Recently, I purchased 3 new ones post Covid and they didn’t even stretch out without breaking at the seams. I compared the two and it is clear that in an effort to save a few pennies, they made the plastic material thinner which weakens the accordion seams. Shameful as it used to be a great product.

                It was great, until it wasn’t
                Installed these in June of least year, and they are all dry rotted and brittle. All 11 are junk, only 8 months later. They were great at first, and did exactly what we needed them to, but since they dry rotted they are worthless. Avoid

                  Garbage
                  This is the second one I have bought. Thought it was just a bad batch but nope its garbage. Cracked at the joints within . This is mounted under primarily a shaded area so no blaming the sun. Its just garbage dont buy it.

                    Purchase these at your own doom
                    I purchased these flexible rain gutter pipes to deflect water away from the house. When installed slight cracks appaired in the thin material. It was to late in a flood situation to go back 70 miles away to the only Home Depot store that had this product. The next storm the cracks got larger and none of the water was being deflected away from the gardens and house where ponds were forming.

                      Quickly cracks with normal use
                      I’ve purchased these downspouts a number of times. Quality seems to be getting worse. Even with normal use, that is without changing length or bend, they crack along the accordion lines letting water spew everywhere. Once removed and any change in shape attempted, virtually all accordion lines crack open.

                        Avoid. Won't last.
                        This fell apart within six months of using it, likely because of UV exposure. Poor quality. It's ridiculous that something that is supposed to be used outdoors can't withstand the elements. Avoid.

                          Failed after 25 months
                          Installed to flex around a bush. Absolutely love its accordion like flexibility. Unfortunately this just didn't stand up to the elements. Likely UV exposure as it was installed in heavy sun location. I saw water pooling along the extension and discoved three breaks, each of which was critical. Pipe ripped & tore easy when removing . Would not use unless very temporary. Replaced with 4" ADS corrugated pipe, 4" downspout adapter, small gutter screws, and 2" tile tape. All of which were in stock at local Home Depot.

                            Very easy to install. Slips securely right onto downspout. Adjusts with accordian design. Keeping water away from new flower bed and foundation. Giving 4 stars ONLY because you cannot paint it to match your exterior color. Otherwise, can't beat it for the price.
