What gutter L shape connection?

[kelihtr]

Hi, hoping someone can help me, with the existing downpipe in the photo I am trying to find a connection something like an "L shape" aluminium connector so that the water runs towards the fence, I will be putting in a riverstone channel along the fence so the water will run into the channel rather than go the expensive route of getting a plumber in to dig underground and connect stormwater.  I have no idea where to buy this have looked on Bunnings website but can't find anything there, any ideas please? thank you

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @kelihtr. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about downpipes.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any pre-made L-shaped connector that would achieve that turn for you. It’s not something commonly used in downpipe installations. If you were to cut off the existing angled bottom section back to the downpipe, you could potentially use two 44° elbows to redirect the flow towards the fence. These fittings are typically 100x50mm, so you’ll need to confirm your downpipe size first.

Alternatively, you can take a length of matching downpipe and cut wedges from it to create your own bend. Another simple option might be to place a 1m section of Everhard drainage channel beneath the outlet and allow the water to drop directly into it. From there, it can run along the fence line.

Just note that any guttering or downpipe modification is considered roof drainage work and technically needs to be done by a licensed professional. So it would be best to confirm with one as to whether your idea is compliant. Also, take care not to direct water toward a property boundary, as it could cause runoff issues for your neighbour.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

thanks Mitchell, like the drainage channel idea but i would have to cut it down as the distance is less than 1 metre from gutter to channel.  Also like the idea of cutting off the bottom bit and using 2 elbows, that might be a good option too.  the channel will be deep enough and have river stones in it that it will not go into neighbours property.  I am also going to run treated pine sleepers along under the fence to alleviate this issue.  Appreciate your reply, finally someone that can help, thanks again
