gutter joint
What do you do about gutter joints when a wall isn't straight? In other
words it consists of 2 sections joined at an angle of 170 degs instead of 180. Unless there's some kind of adjustable straight joint, one would appear to be buggered.... |

I really, really wonder if the wotsits rotting my wotsit as sometimes I can barely remember yesterday but I recalled your question was asked before. Google then did the rest: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/uk.d-i-y/pHx2L97sH7s Subject of course to Andrew Mawson or others providing an update. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |

I'd forgotten all about that. I really am worried that the grey stuff is disintegrating at a rate of knots. Quite a useful thread in retrospect. Thanks for reminding me. Hangs head in shame :-( |

No, as Andrew Mawson explained, "wall has a 10 degree kink due to property line" |

No, as Andrew Mawson explained, "wall has a 10 degree kink due to property line" You can bend it that much in a normal straight joint, and if not, put a stop end on each piece at the point it kinks, as I said it may mean you need another outlet. |

No, as Andrew Mawson explained, "wall has a 10 degree kink due to property line" what you do with PVC gutter is cut two lengths and glue them together with PVC cement. You can hack a bit off a coupler to cover and strengthen the joint. -- To people who know nothing, anything is possible. To people who know too much, it is a sad fact that they know how little is really possible - and how hard it is to achieve it. |

I haven't measured the angle exactly but I don't think 156 would be enough. This is more like 170 degs. |
