ABSTRACT:
A self-righting gutter system for a structure. Supports mounted to the structure support a gutter. The gutter can rotate from a first water collecting position to a second cleaning position and self-rights to the first water collecting position. The gutter has a greater thickness along a longitudinal axis thereof. The gutter may be rotated, for example, by using a cable, connected to the gutter or by using a properly weighted pole with a hook by standing on the ground. The gutter returns to the water-collecting position or self-rights by letting go of the cable or by removing the pole from the hook, that is, the variable thickness and corresponding weight of the gutter along the axis, i.e. the center of gravity of the gutter, wants to return to its original position.
