ABSTRACT:
A rotatable gutter system including a longitudinally elongated gutter, a plurality of supports and a pulley and cable drive mechanism is disclosed. The support may be attached to the facia board of a building, or the underside of an eave. Each support includes a support bracket for attachment to the building and a gutter support member having roller bearings. The support member is attached to the gutter. The gutter can be rotated into a substantially inverted position for emptying debris therefrom by a cable actuated pulley affixed to one end of the gutter. A specially designed downspout having a gutter receiving aperture permits unhampered rotation of the gutter.
