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 wi

The only figures I have seen for water run is quarter inch per foot. This apparently applies to gutters and to things like patios as well. - Original Message - From: Tom Vos To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2010 9:31 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Ra

Sorry! Quarter inch per 10 feet is recommended. this may not be enough though depending on the size of the roof and the slope and the size of the guttering. Dale Leavens. Why isn't "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds? - Original Message - From: Tom Vos To: blindhandyman@yaho
