Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Green Flex-Drain Downspout Extension 85011 by Dante Obong

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The next day we had a good steady rain and when I went outside.

I ordered 3 pieces, one for each of the 3 downpipes. After struggling with all 3 to lengthen them, 2 were too short for the distance they had to travel so I ordered 2 more to put together for more length. The next day we had good consistent rain and when I went outside to see if they were working it wasn't raining. Instead, the rain just sat inside them and drew back, defeating their purpose. They don't seem to be able to stack horizontally and chaining them together makes chaining worse. I had to undress them, take them apart and pour the water out of them; I also dug up some soil so they were at a higher angle to see if they would work better with gravity. Also, they are flexible, but you need muscles to stretch them. Not as easy as they say. In general, not everyone is so happy with these things.

Pros
  • Easy downpipe installation
Cons
  • Only available in white
