Although the SpoutOff can be installed here, someone would have to climb up there to detach it and clean it. This is still better than having to climb all the way up to the top of the 2nd or 3rd story. {Notes: (1) If you can run the present downspout down to the ground, the SpoutOff would be detachable from the ground. (2) In some cases it is possible to re-pitch this upper gutter the other way enabling the SpoutOff to run down to the ground and be easily detachable from the ground. (3) Because The SpoutOff outlet hole is so big, it is still a good idea to install The SpoutOff at this location because the chance of clogging at the very large SpoutOff outlet is greatly decreased}.
