ABSTRACT:
A gutter assembly is provided which comprises an elongated, preferably transversely flexible sheet which when in an installed position extends along a building roof adjacent an edge of it, while extending below the roof edge. A pipe is provided which has a lengthwise extending slot which accommodates a side edge of the sheet through it adjacent an edge of the slot, while leaving room for entry of only water through the slot and into the pipe. A plurality of clips are dimensioned to be extendable outward from a surface of an edge strip of the sheet so that when the edge strip extends through the slot in the pipe, the clips can abut the inner surface of the pipe so as to retain an inside surface of the sheet against an edge of the slot. Preferably, the foregoing components are also dimensioned such that the sheet vertically supports the pipe. Such a gutter assembly inhibits entry of foreign matter into the pipe.
