Various types of flashing for use at the edge of flat roofs, decking or green roofs are presented. In exemplary embodiments, flashing may be provided at the edge of a roof to retain or provide an edge treatment for an aesthetic and functional surface material, such as, for example, a cast paver, while at the same time allowing for water drainage.

The invention to which this application relates is apparatus and a method for the monitoring of a guttering and/or roofing system. The invention provides monitoring apparatus at at least one portion of a guttering or roofing system to detect the height of material in the gutter at instants of time and determines the liquid component of said material therein. The data received can be used to determine a future maintenance schedule for said guttering system so as to prevent or minimise the risk of the guttering system flooding and/or alert when an immediate reaction is required in order to prevent flooding or leakage of liquid therefrom.

A waterfall gutter system comprises a top tubular pipe above and separated from a semi-circular channel or trough where the pipe and trough are separated through the use of various brackets, connectors, corner connectors, downspouts, and end caps. The various brackets, connectors, corner connectors, downspouts, and end caps having a top opening for receiving the pipe and a bottom opening for receiving the trough where the openings are separated to provide proper spacing.

Zippered curved screen flap access panels, systems, arrangements, kits and methods for making a zippered curved screen flap panels in order to access space on another side of a screen enclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the novel curved screen flap can be formed in a screen panel, where the panel is installed in an upper location of a screen cage such as in a roof section or upper wall section below or adjacent to a roof gutter. The panel can be easily unzipped with the flap hanging down so that the gutter can be easily accessed and cleaned through the access opening. After the gutter is cleaned, the flap can easily be zippered back in place with the screen material being retensioned.

A self-supporting gutter guard having a roof attachment, step, trough and gutter lip attachment portion. The step portion is composed of a plurality of connected steps having treads and risers with at least one row of step orifices disposed in one or more treads, and has at least one row of trough orifices. The trough floor is at a lower elevation than a tread of the step portion's last step and below a top of the gutter lip attachment portion. The trough and the gutter lip attachment portion share a common wall. The device provides an uneven surface for easier debris drying and removal, and is oriented at a downward angle from the roof attachment portion to the trough portion.

This disclosure relates to a louvered patio cover. The louvered patio cover may comprise a frame with support beams, louvered panels, support beam couplers, an actuator, a gutter, and/or other components. The support beams may have angled ends. The louvered panels may be rotatably coupled to the support beams. A support beam coupler may comprise first and second receivers. The first receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a first support beam, and the second receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a second support beam. The angled ends of the first and second support beams may face, meet, and/or abut each other when received by the first and second receivers. The actuator may be configured to rotate the louvered panels. A gutter may comprise a lighting channel configured to hold a light source for lighting an area under the louvered patio cover.
