Just working on our outdoor area. We got a 6x4 louvre installed however when the deck was built it wasn’t measured properly so now we have a bit of a gap between the house and the louvre where water comes through. Any ideas on how I can close this gap?
Gap is about 56cm out. So need something to cover 4m x 56cm?? Thanks

Afternoon @Alicia33
Firstly Id like to say Hello and welcome to the Bunnings community page 
Its a nice place to hang out and just scroll through peoples projects and questions.
I really like @TedBear's suggestion and I mean really, as when I was looking at the pictures I was trying to figure out someway to span and attach whatever I could. Id add to his suggestion in one tiny way. (I am pretty sure you can get longer L shapes (yep just checked, 150mm wide)
Firstly attach just under the gutter a length of 66 x 18mm 5.4m Moulding H3 Treated Pine FJ Primed Pencil Round LOSP
This will give a slanted look to the L shape and allow the rain to fall off towards the gazebo roof
Think of an lazy L lying down on the job with the short part of the L standing on the right. Looking at your gazebo from the point of where you took the photos, The short part of the L will be attached to the new timber strip at the top (just under the gutter) and the eve at the bottom, giving the Long lazy L a tilted effect to allow the rain to drain towards the gazebo.
Dave but really Ted
Hello @Alicia33
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @TedBear and @Dave-1. I totally agree with using the Fielders 2.4m 100mm Zinc Angle to prevent water from splashing in between the gap. My only other suggestion would be to use Selleys 290ml Clear Storm Waterproof Gutter And Roof Sealant to prevent water from flowing between the zinc angle and the gazebo frame.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think my photos don’t show just how big the space is. Maybe calling it a gap wasn’t the right word… Our ceilings in the house are 2.7m and the gazebo is only 2.4m so the space between the house and the gazebo is about 50cm+. The sliding door frame
sits higher than the gazebo. I have attached another photo from inside to show this space. I am trying to ensure that no water at all gets through. Could I possibly use flashings? Maybe I will need to get a custom flashing? Or maybe corrugated roofing somehow? Thanks again for all the suggestions so far!
Hello @Alicia33
Thank you for sharing those extra photos. I propose using the Suntuf 127 x 5 x 15cm Clear Corrugated Polycarbonate Wall Flashing on the gazebo and the fascia of the roof in combination with the Suntuf 860 x 17mm x 2.4m Clear Corrugated Polycarbonate Roofing Sheet. The sheet will need to be cut to size so that it fits between the two wall flashings.
It will be easy to install and is light weight so it will hardly put any stress on the gazebo or your roof.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
