Welding and fabricating plastic cheaply or free

I'd use aluminum flashing and Pop rivets. It's easy to cut with snips and unlike plastic it stays where it's bent.

There are flexible downspout plastic adapters available. I couldn't use them because they jam from tree debris. Instead I ran the gutter around the corners to where the wall is vertical and dropped straight downspouts that are attached only at the lower end and are easy to remove for cleaning. The downspout tee has no end cap so when it clogs the water pours out the end, and I can drag the leaves out with a scoop on a long pole.

Vinyl can be solvent bonded. Use PVC cement for plastic pipe.

For the down spout itself rather than bending it you can use PVC pipe and fittings.

For the connection to the gutter itself I would try to make a flange on the end of the PVC pipe by forming it with a little local heat, then make a rung flange from a fitting by cutting off the ring from the female end of a fitting. This will give you good mechanical strength.

This will work out fine. i was going to "borrow" some PVC cement tomorrow at work to bond some PVC electrical conduit. I'll just try this on my problem and this hopefully will solve it. Thanks for both replys Rosco

If a standard downspout is close you can try heating and reshaping it. Either a heatgun or submerge in boiling water should soften it enough for you to bend it to shape.
