[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 4178100, member: 277"] The top picture is how we added an extra shed to the side of the corn store. We needed more height for the drier, the little silver square at the eaves of the original shed is the new gutter. The second picture is how an extra span was added to the existing shed at approximately the same height. I say approximately because from the outside it looks the same height, although, from the inside picture, it obviously isn't. The gutter is the black box like structure, it is now a formed aluminium one but was originally a fibre cement type. The right hand side is straight and the left hand sloped. I would agree with the comments above about not having valley gutters in corn stores, we have had our fair share of problems with water coming in during big downpours. We have combatted it to a certain degree by cutting all but an inch or so off the stop ends on the gutter. When there is light rain it is held in and goes down the downspout, when the rain is heavy any excess shoots straight over the end and away.
