ABSTRACT:
A gutter member including a channel portion adapted to receive and carry away water flowing from the roof structure; and a cover portion extending above and at least partially covers the channel portion. The cover portion is adapted to support sliding travel of solid or semi-solid material, such as snow and ice, from the roof structure over the channel portion. Preferably, the cover portion extends inwardly from an outer side of the channel portion to at least partially cover it. The cover portion presents an upper bearing surface that extends across more than half and the entire lateral width of the channel portion to act as a bridge for the solid and semi-solid material. The gutter member includes a mounting portion at which the gutter member is adapted to be secured at the periphery of the roof structure, the mounting portion being an integral extension of the cover portion.
