Abstract
A gutter construction for the periphery of swimming pools is formed of at least two prefabricated members joining together. First is a main gutter member which is molded from a longitudinally slit, plastic cylindrical material and includes a vertical rear wall and a horizontal bottom wall extending forwardly from the lower edge of the rear wall. A front rim member is also molded from a tubular plastic material and has the lower wall thereof secured to the upper surface of the main gutter member near the front or free edge thereof. A perforated gutter cap rests atop the upper edge of the rear wall of the main gutter member and the juncture of the lip and rear wall of the tubular member which forms a seat for the front edge of the gutter cap. All of the members, i.e. the main gutter member, the rim member and the gutter cap are fabricated from a tubular plastic stock, such stock being cut (in the cases of the main gutter member and gutter cap), heated, and reshaped to form the components of the gutter construction.
