Hi Craig, first video I have ever watched of your channel and instant subscriber. I have to know what kind of siding and color is that. it's visually perfect.
Thanks mate! It was composite cladding in brick red, we got it from a company we're making a video for shortly!
I think Craig, this is the first video on the subject that I have seen that deals with this clearly and simply and is also applicable to UK products available rather than US biased. What would you say is the maximum horizontal length of guttering to run before a down spout is required? I have a very long barn and other long outbuildings which would really need a down spout somewhere in the middle.
Many thanks for your complementary comments, I'm not to sure of the max length you'd need, but if you could add additional down spouts then you could also use a deeper flow gutter that takes more water than the standard one I'm using, I'd say it would certainly work well for around 20 to 30 meters in length
Cheers
Hi Craig, geat video, really helpful. Two quick DIYer questions....I'm thinking of replacing my half-round guttering with 'square' guttering following the existing pattern of joints/connections etc. 1. Are the bracket fixing points on the facia for half-round guttering the same for 'square' brackets? i.e. take out the existing half-round brackets & use the same screw holes for new 'square' brackets? 2. Current downpipe is round - is there a conversion pipe - round to square?
You'll need to use square brackets with the square guttering and yes you should get them near fixing close to the same screw holes, if not you can fill them and paint over if wood facias.
Yes you should be able to buy an adapter top go from round to square for the down spout
I have a metal sided mobile home with the flat metal roof and I m wondering if I can put rain gutters on the side of the house like you did here? I want to get the rain from pouring straight down the side of my house. Thank you in advance for your response and a roof 9cer is not feasible at this time.
Its hard to advise with out seeing what you have, do you want to post some photos of the roof and your questions on out Mr and Mrs DIY Facebook Fan Forum and we'll be able to advise what could work of you
Why is the gutter not a bit higher, nearer the roof edge?
It doesn't need to be with this structure, and its how the roof SIP panels sit on the wall SIP's it had a hang over so it created this depth
Have you tried using an extension bit for your electric screw driver, then the drill doesn't need to come in contact with the brackets
Yes tonnes, but I didn't grab any before I started!
Hi Craig, how much roof overhang do you need to the center of the gutter to make sure the rain goes in ?
Hi, usually it's about 2 inches, mainly just so it overhangs and the water can go in, cheers
@@MrandMrsDIY thank very much ,ps I've just bought a Warner electric fence sprayer lol hope it it does the job 😀
My flat roof is just a OSB sheet roof with no fascia boards. At the moment the rain water just drips of the edges. How would I go about attaching a guttering system in my circumstance?
Hi mate, depends what the lip edge is like, you can get slim gutters to fit onto it, but remember, to not make the water stand it has to be at a slight angle for the water to run down. Cheers
