Guttering on an overhanging roof.

coolagarry

My daughter has a wooden summer house with a roof that extends about a foot in front of the walls. She wants to put up guttering as the water splashes onto the bottom of the walls when it rains.
I can't imagine guttering brackets that long so how would she go about it?

Thank you,

Some of these are simply intended to drip all across the the overhang, but, you don't do 12" long gutter brackets if you need to fix this.

What you do do is add timber under the eaves, the extremity of the roof, then simply bracket off this, ;), take care.

Thanks for that. I take it that it would need to be angled timber so that I end up with a face parallel to the ground and can get guttering brackets that can be screwed upwards into that?

Does the roof have rafters exposed on the overhang? If so the gutter brackets can be screwed into the end grain, or plumb cut, of the rafters.

Unfortunately not, I think I will have to make up brackets and screw them onto the underside of the roof, attach gutter brackets to them and then the put on the gutter...hope it works

Have a look at Marley example below ( and other ) adjustable gutter brackets.

Hmm interesting Tony, look good are they expensive?

Op, I was thinking you could screw timber noggins to the side of the existing rafters if they have been cut square rather than to the vertical angle. These noggins, just short timbers the same section as the rafters are then angled correctly to align vertically;);)

Bri - I knew that these existed but have never bought any. I would guess that they will be more than a fiver each. I imagine that they could be under-fixed on a summer house roof overhang.

I contacted Eezy Plumbing on Amazon and the bloke there said they were the Marley RTA 1A brackets at about £4 each. They also have RSA 1A which fastens onto vertical surfaces so the gutter bracket is at right angles to the metal strip.

Since we are MSE here... you can use a strip of lead cut to size and bent as needed for this. Been there and done it.. on a barn on a very old house, worked a treat). Nail it under tiles, bend around the gutter ( cast iron in this case), and done! Lasted a few years before it needed a rejig to get the angle right again.

Probably cheaper (if less perfect) than the Marley gear!

There are lots of cheap routes to follow, OP simply has to be a little "resourseful";);)
