Catch Basin Gutter Downspout Extensions, 12"×12" Low Profile Catch Basin Downspout Extender with 2" ID Flexible Pipe, No Deep Dig Needed, Rainwater Diverter, Pipe Stretched Length 8.2ft

I got this because I have numerous plants on my apartment balcony, some of them very large and heavy. I was originally watering plants over a bucket with a wire rack set over it, and then lifting the water filled bucket and dumping it over the balcony.Now I can just set the plants on the square surface, water as normal, and the water conveniently runs out of the tube off of the balcony. Maybe not the intended purpose for the product, but it makes my life so much easier watering my plants.I wonder if I should charge my apartment complex for the fertilizer the bushes below me will be getting.

Love it! Looks great and easy to install

While it works as advertised the drain hole and tube are overwhelmed during a typical Texas severe thunderstorm (but then it’s not designed to handle that massive amount of water).

Looks great we’ll see when the rain comes

Far higher quality than expected. Thick plastic, low-pooling design, and great throughput for a moderate quantity of water (~40-50GPM max). The wire reinforced hose was a nice touch, would definitely buy again.

I purchased several of these for a new construction home.Works great for a light rainfall but basin and pipe is too small to heavy a heavy rain.A few things to consider:The pipe is meant to be buried, under soil or mulch or rock. But keep in mind the basin must be elevated much more than the pipe for proper drainage. If you bury the pipe under the soil, the water will not quickly drain into the soil and you will end up with a soft spot and muddy mess.One the ones I installed, I had to cut my down spouts so the water would fall into the basin properly and where I installed on top of mulch, I had to make sure there was enough of a slight decline from the start of the basin pipe fitting to the end of the pipe. Mine drained onto my slopped drive way which is just perfect. But for the areas of yard, the pipe sits above the ground which means when the grass grows around it, I'll have to use a weed eater to trim around.Perhaps a high profile would have suited my needs better.I found also that attaching the pipe to the basin was not very easy to do.

Wish I would have gotten these sooner. I love them. Thanks

I had read the reviews. It was very difficult to attach the extension hoses. Have to extend all the way at the ends before you try screw them together. Very frustrating but finally got it. Be patient!!
