Frost King DE300 Standard Plastic Downspout Extender - Extend Your Drain Away!

vicky: This was easy to install and worked like a charm

Amazon Customer: I was using a 4” dia tube which worked but I kept tripping over it in the dark when not raining. This item worked just fine. I originally read that it rewound automatically but I couldn’t see how and indeed it didn’t but for $10 for a sturdy 12 ft flexible tube that fits on the downspout with a zip tie, I’m pleased with it. The description now reads manual rewind. The first time I used it, I went out to check it and it was swollen solid because the end was folded back on itself and when I unrolled it the water drained as expected. This is my first rain so I don’t know how long it will last or if it will get moldy. I suspect it might.

Tuftsy: Just a long bag that attaches to downspout gets water out further … over priced for a bag and terrible tye down… make sure you have an actual tie wrap

Mike S.: Introducing the Frost King DE300 Standard Plastic Drain Away Downspout Extender – a product that, unfortunately, does not live up to expectations. While it claims to extend up to 12-feet and help direct water away from your home, this downspout extender may be more of a headache than a help. Let's explore the downspout disappointment that is the Frost King DE300.

Pros:

Affordable: The Frost King DE300 is a budget-friendly option, which may be appealing to those looking for a quick and inexpensive solution to their downspout needs.

Cons:

Poor water management: This downspout extender fails to effectively manage water flow, leading to potential issues with water stagnation and algae growth.
Environmental concerns: The stagnant water can create an unhealthy environment for local wildlife, such as frogs and lizards, potentially leading to harm or even death.
Durability issues: The Frost King DE300's construction is not as robust as other options on the market, leading to potential damage or breakage over time.
Installation difficulties: Users may experience challenges with properly installing the downspout extender, adding to...

Katherine O.: Bought this for the corner of my house where the drain was eroding parts of the foundation. This works great as were able to divert the water not only away from the house but between some of the landscaping plants so they also don’t continuously get washed out. Only complaint is that you have to hand roll it back up in between the rain.

Mark E: Works as advertised. This is not a permanent solution in my opinion but it serves it purpose well.
I bought a new house this year and the previous owners did all sorts of stone work around the house, without putting gutter drains under them. The gutters all drain on top of the stone interloc work and the wife has me doing lots of other work before winter.

These keep the water away from the house and stone work until I can dig it all up and do it right.

Dont listen to others who say this doesnt work. They are likely not installing it properly. The only down side is if it is windy as heck, sometimes it gets twisted up and the water pools in the bag. If you need this for a long term solution, you can probably help this situation if you spike sections of it into the ground instead of rolling it back up each time.

Prickly Pear: I would prefer more permanent downspout extenders on the two downspouts near an open patio to keep water away from our house foundation. However, one downspout is too near the pool deck and patio and would only be unsightly and create a rush of water that would probably go into the pool carrying dirt and debris with it. The other downspout extender would have to go across a walkway to get any distance from the foundation. So I purchased two of these. Easy to put on and use. They work like a charm to keep water away from the foundation when it rains, and I assume they spread the water out through small holes in the last two feet or so when rain is heavy -- though I've never stood out in the rain and watched to see. They are easy to roll up out of the way after the rainfall and I can set the roll to extend in a slightly different direction if I want. Obviously they weren't going to last long because of the thin mil plastic, but I was disappointed that I only got one year's use out of them. I know the summer sun is a killer for plastic here, but these don't get full sun all day, and one gets very little sun. I guess the heat did the damage nonetheless. They...
