Extruded Gutter Video

Extruded gutter is an open gutter option for Solid Newport Alumawood patio covers. We replace a Rollformed gutter to make it easier to clean out the gutter. It is better to opt for the Extruded in the beginning if you know you will have a lot of debris on you patio cover. If you are free of trees and other problems that could clog you gutter then the rollform can save you money
