Walkway for cleaning gutters

[Happy hillbily]

Hopefully this year, I will be replacing an old hay shed. Living on top of a hill @1200ft it's a windy and have trees planted around the farm yard for shelter.
Unfortunately lots of trees means lots of leaves come autumn, and gutter cleaning is something that gets done quite a few times in the autumn.
The shed will be beside the shippon as the picture below.

There will be no way to get to the gutter on the new shed once it's up. So my question is, has anyone put a walkway on the side of the shed to facilitate gutter cleaning as in blue above ?

No , but it looks a good idea for the long term

Can’t the new ‘roof’ meet the ridge of the other shed in any way? Then you get rid if your gutter problem and the valley gutter

Easiest to make it a lean to rather than apex roof if possible, also how do you plan on reaching gutter from a walkway like the pic as it will be above the gutter

The gutter of the old shippon will be too low, and the shippon isn't level, and has two levels too.

Something constructed out of scaffolding to keep you safe, commercial premises sometimes have these walkways to give you safe easy access.

The gutter on the shippon will still be accessible from inside the new shed (same as the old shed now) the walkway will be to clear the gutter on the new shed on the right which will be above the shippon roof.
The new shed will be 70ft wide and be clear span, it's replacing 3 hay sheds 1 apex 1 round top and a lean too in the middle.

Good idea, put some galv OMF on there to walk on and a simple handrail and you will be sorted.

At the risk of de-railing the thread - has anyone used Hedgehog gutter brushes to keep leaves out of gutters and reduce cleaning?

cranked eaves on new shed, and a new bigger gutter on shippon

Cleaning gutters is old school thinking. Current advice from Natural Resources Wales is to leave them full of rubbish to alleviate flooding. I'd volunteer for a beaver or two as well, just to be sure everything stays dry
