Hi Tom, I would suspect that of even more importance is to be absolutely certain that there are no valleys along the way and to also install some sort of gutter guard to keep the leaves and other things out of the gutter proper.
If you have a downspout at each end the run would only be 17 feet with the high point dead center. Looking at my gutter which is 42 feet I can not see much of a drop at all, perhaps an inch or so. We do have downspouts at each end though.

We have a 34 foot run on the garage, and I'm wondering how much drop we need over that distance Blessings, Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
