Add a downspout elbow extension to your gutter downspout and make it hinged — so it flips straight up and stays out of the way every time you mow. No more stopping to move it by hand.
In this video I'll show you how to cut a downspout elbow extension with a simple notch hinge so the whole thing flips up on its own and holds its position. Works on any standard aluminum downspout. All you need is tin snips, a couple of screws, and about 30 minutes.
