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:

An external corner you mean?

Put a stop end on each piece, which may mean you need another outlet.

Christ!! 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"

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.

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.

That's a good idea. Whether a gutter man would be that resourceful I'm
not sure. No way am I going up that high from a narrow base

There are adjustable bends, I used one years ago.

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