An eaves troughing assembly includes elongated eaves troughing members of resilient material with generally U-shaped section having a rear portion, base portion and front portion, the front portion of each eaves troughing member having a longitudinally extending recess in a front face at least adjacent an end of the member. Elongated connectors of resilient material with generally U-shaped section have a rear connector portion having an inwardly extending upper free end portion forming a recess between the free end portion and an adjacent part of the rear connector to receive an upper end of the rear portion of an eaves troughing member. The front portion of each connector member has a longitudinally extending projection in a rear face shaped for snapping engagement in the recess of an eaves troughing member. A connector member can be assembled with adjacent eaves troughing members, when they are longitudinally aligned with each other with ends substantially abutting, by initially causing the upper ends of the rear portions of the eaves troughing members to be received within the recess of the connector, with the remainder of the connector being below the eaves troughing members. The connector is then moved angularly upwardly relatively to the eaves troughing member to cause longitudinal projection of the connector to move into the recesses in the front faces of the front portions of the eaves troughing members and snap into engagement therewith with the rear portion, base portion and front portion of the connector engaging the corresponding portions of the eaves troughing members.
