Even gayer than watching drifting. AutoX. Couple cools cars, couple of odd vehicle choices showed up... lol

Not that I want to, but gotta put gutters on the front of the shop. Today its painting the face ya and throwing up a drip rail.

Plan is using the cheap white plastic gutters.

X2 on aluminum. Also when you secure them use screws, nails like to pull out over time.

Since you get decent wind and rain out that way might as well future proof it.

Some gutters on my house are slowly pulling away, will be pulling nails out and redoing it, wish it was as low height as yours is.
Renting me a basket to do mine, **** ladders.

Too late, bought it all a few weeks ago. Planning on using excessive mounting brackets.

Curious how they fold over? Fwiw these are full-size and relatively thick... not the little 2x3 rinky dink ones.


Edit- also the work day turned into a spray paint scrap boards party.

I tried them and in a heavy rain, the outside of the gutter would fold out and the water would just shoot over it. Granted it took a really hard rain.

So I did what Andy told aunt Bee to do and I called the man and had seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts installed.

Hopefully with all the braces you are using will help.
 
Yea now I'm all internal voice [should I go to Lowes in the morning and get more braces? Maybe run 1 per foot?]

:laughing:

OK, I guess ill be the plastic gutter experiment guy... let's see if they make it. No wind, no snow, lotsa rain, all screws no nails, really steep pitch so runoff will be high velocity.

Those that penetrode posted are the crap gutters from Canada. Yes they will buckle from water weight...

Overdoing brace frequency should help for sure. Like every other rafter...

And den, you’re at the cost of aluminum gutters after installing 100 support brackets

Possibly.

Even worse, talking to neighbor while ago... he just had the pros come out and seamless gutter his whole house and it was $1400. Which means they'd probably charge $300 to do my one little 40 foot run. I'm around $200 in right now using junk and I've got to diy.

I’ve done them myself in the past and it’s not too bad of a job. I had all of mine replaced on my house last year along with the roof due to hail damage. I made sure to keep my front gutter on my house. I cut it in half and it’s perfect for my shop or my four car canopy.
