8 incher pvc......gutter

[Matt]

Hi, now i have got some attention, anyone know best place to get 8" gutter from? we just put a lean to on shed and as the slope is 57ft x 105 ft long didnt think 6 inch would be enough..
Just had a price come through on hunter 8" and hell its a fair dollar for the run.

Bought some 200mm a few years ago for a similar sized roof,can't remember the name but got it from gap plastics.

This any good?

Hi Matt.
You can get pvc or folded galv guttering from Thomas' in Leominster. Not sure if they stock 200mm pvc but they could always fold you a galv version, like the one elub shows. 01568610000 is their number.

surely gav will be much better on that size, stronger to stand the potential weight of water and possibly needing less brackets, bit late maybe but the galv guttering can also extend up to be the first purlin

How about deep flow 6" or even can you put downpipes each end?

thanks, i came across this at local plastics place today. got to go back for proper quote as only had helper.

didnt want to put down pipes each end as the one is onto the yard and as its a stone yard where we have only put a shed up within the last 2 years it gets messy as it is.
Not to keen my self on combined gutter and purlin as what happens when gutter needs replacing, bit like the galv gutters screwed to the eaves beam. like the look of the farm buildings direct one tho. seems to make sense.

If you try Steadmans they will fold what you want and you need only bracket it to each stanchion.

from my experience 8inch will carry alot of water but what size is the downpipe and the pipes taking it away what else is plumbed into them. put up a shed once and when it rained the spout overflowed, only found the problem when we looked at the second man hole, 4inch pipe out 6 inch in.

dont go galv it will only do a few years befor the joiont go and it sags.

the guttering from here http://www.farmbuildingsdirect.co.uk/guttering.htm is good stuff ,it is all made before it goes to the galvanisers so no cut edges to start and rust unlike others that have been cut or have holes bored , it is held in brackets fastened to the stanchions and the folds make it very strong ,you can lean or hook a ladder against it to clean it out if need be . I fitted one and was happy enough to go back and buy another one.
the only downside is that they only do 2 standard sizes

I second this. A bit of a job to put up, but the best guttering you will buy. Will take the odd knock with the loader if you have it above doorways etc. far better than any plastic guttering.
