ABSTRACT:
A gutter assembly with a cleaning system which facilitates the removal of debris from the channel member of the assembly. In one preferred embodiment the assembly comprises a longitudinally extending elongated channel member having an inner sidewall, an outer sidewall, and a horizontally extending bottom wall connecting and spacing the inner and outer sidewalls. A first removable end cap is located at one end of the channel member and a second end cap is located at the other end of the channel member. A flexible strip is disposed along the length of the bottom wall. One end of the flexible strip is connected to the removable end cap. The other end of the flexible strip is connected to a length of rope. The rope is guided along the length of the gutter assembly by a plurality of ring bolts. When a user removes the removable end cap the flexible strip is simultaneously removed from the confines of the channel member and any debris which has accumulated on the strip is also removed. The strip is repositioned within the channel member by pulling upon the loose end of the rope until the removable end cap is in the proximity of the end of the channel member. The removable end cap is then attached to the end of the channel member and the loose end of the rope is wrapped around a cleat located on the end cap and stored.
