Here are some photos and my thoughts of the installation of the HF Greenhouse Gutter Piece. I cleaned out the gutter before installing but as you will see, it still needs some good spring cleaning. It would be obvious to most which end is up. But being a real live Construction Dummy, it was only obvious to me
after installation. No worries. It was a quick and easy fix. Luckily I am a Fast Learner. The opposite end went on perfectly, as if I'd done it once before? Now, without further delay....
The gutter end parts. A pretty Beta Bright Green. But i think i would prefer black to match the other HF GH components:
I chose to install the 2 parts on the South-facing wall of the GH simply because observations would be easier from that side.
The gutter was cleaned of debris and provided HF gutter end caps were removed.
Look at the bit of caulking on the left. It was placed there to seal the gap from water. This will become a slight issue during installation of the beta piece on one side.
I cant believe I actually took a picture of my ineptness. Here it is installed upside-down! Kids! Do NOT attempt to do this at home!
Here we go! I am used to Do Overs.
The drain fits well into the corner of the GH. I am thinking inserting a hose or tube into the hole to a receptacle would be nice?
Had a little trouble getting a good fit on the left side. The applied caulk got in the way. But the silicone was soft and it was easy to manipulate it out of the way.
Horizontally, it is a perfect fit.
Vertically, it was a bit short causing the part to tilt downward a tad making a tight, secure fit impossible without a shim of some type.
Lifted into position beyond the small gap, it would sit perfectly horizontal.
Now I sit and wait for a rainy day so i can report how the past works. Or I may get busy on a sunny day and clean the outside of the GH with the garden hose.
