Had to replace a downspout because it was stepped on. I replaced it with a downspout extension, which is longer and does a better job of letting the rain water drain away from the house.

The only issue I'm facing is if we have a heavy rain or high winds, the downspout extension comes off, thus defeats its purpose.

Is their anyway to keep this extension on when experiencing heavy rain and winds?

(can't upload a pic because its too big)

thanks

  • White sheet metal screw through the overlapped sections. Or if you want to get fancy, a pop-rivet.

  • If you can't figure out how to resize your photo, use words. The question is too broad otherwise.

White sheet metal screw through the overlapped sections. Or if you want to get fancy, a pop-rivet (converted from my comment).

Note to Jack - some of the other SE sites seem to discourage 1 (or 2)-sentence answers. I have been asked on at least one occasion to convert an answer into a comment.
