Do you have any suggestions in how to ensure the downspouts drain far from foundation?

I normally use an additional piece of downspout and connect it to the elbow at the bottom of the downspout. They come in 10' lengths and in several colors. I just cut them to the length that seems like it is long enough to do the job. Use sheet metal screws to hold it together. Make sure that you have it extended beyond any landscape edging that may trap water in a planting bed next to the foundation.
