Clogs
Leaks
Gutter pulling away from the house.
Gutters formed at the jobsite from a continuous piece of metal, cut to the required length

Half round profile is also available

Minimum slope of ¼” for every 10’ of gutters
Recommend one downspout per 20’ of gutters. Larger roof areas, pitch of the roof and/or heavy rainfall areas may require more downspouts
