Got to fit in with some that's already in place, could start again but more expense ! (y)
New build totally agree.
RIP the lot of and start again we have galv ones on fitted the same day BSE started are still good and straight , How much is the plastic going to add up per meter? The galv works out about £8

Who's good for that?
Just seal the joints with silicon and pot rivets? Or but and bolt through the holes shown.?
Got me thinking now (y)
Silicon sealant on joints ( must be lmn silicon and not Lma) and just use std m12 bolts to join and bolt to bracket , you only need a bracket on every steel upright these are only a flat plate with 2 slots in , if the brackets were welded on you would fit 200 ft in an hour and half

Who's the best value for guttering, looking at floplast 170mm, used it in the past getting varying prices, need to replace about 200ft.
Thanks
Get some steel ones made to fit your existing brackets
Thomas profile and panels made some for a neighbor to replace "fibre cement" gutter easy to install silicone and Tek screwd to join all metal outlets and end stops and then used standard plastic down pipe
If it was new build I would definitely use steel gutters with brackets on the shed uprights

Just realized you've probably got knackered plastic brackets that need replacing
not galvanized metal like neighbours had

Thomas P&P are really helpful too, nice people I found.

Fitted the gutter to flat steel supports and tekscrewed it down.

we don’t like that it can tuck up when putting them together , we fold it tighter so use silicon as there’s not enough room for the mastic tape
Thomas panels now roll a gutter that is recessed at one end to allow for wide mastic tape. Find it much better and it sticks like s... to a blanket. You have to take care lining holes up as you only get one chance !
Much neater and you don’t get gutter, tools and yourself covered in sticky sealant
