ABSTRACT:
An adjustable telescoping downspout which can be laterally or vertically adjusted to a preferred position, extended longitudinally or retracted upwardly to an inoperative position. The two-piece trough is attachable to the downspout in a turret-like arrangement and requires no tools or hardware. The trough further includes a flow diverter at the distal end thereof for diverging and deflecting the water flow in a fan-shape to reduce the likelihood of soil erosion. The flow diverter can either be integrally formed with the trough, or provided as a separate member which can be selectively attached to the distal end of a trough. The diverter member includes a plurality of diamond-shaped protrusions for directing water flow over the side edges of the diverter member and which has a tongue-shape.
