19. MODIFYING DOWNSPOUT FOR OBSTRUCTIONS » Trace the obstruction on the downspout and remove the material with a knife. (19A) » Cut a patch of trough material 2" larger than the opening and create flaps on patch as per previous instructions (obstructions and posts) and slide over the top of the obstruction. (19B) » Tape over trough material, using caulk if necessary. (19C)

20. DOUBLE EXTENDED DECKS (OVER 19') » Place downspouts on the opposite ends from where the existing deck and the deck extension meet. » Install a trough from the blocking of the extension to the downspout. » Tape all seams & edges as per previous instructions.

21. RUNNING WIRES OR OBSTRUCTIONS THROUGH TROUGH OR DOWNSPOUT » Two ways to run wire through Trex Rainescape system: #1 PENETRATION THROUGH TROUGH » Pick bay for penetration. Poke hole large enough for wire. » Mark near joist where wire will penetrate. Keeping it close to joist helps with connection point and hole is at highest point of trough. (21A)
