Corner downpipe for corner shed?

[lord_seagrave]

Hi chaps,

I can’t work out what to search for, though it must surely exist.

I’ve put up a five-sided shed in the garden, the roof of which slopes down to the corner point.

What guttering do I need?

I think I need a downpipe at that corner - so I need a bit that’s a 90-degree angle with a hole in it.

I don’t want to bodge it if I can buy something ready-made, but I can’t find it.

If I’m being picky, I’d want black square-section.

Cheers,

I just looked the best you will do is a hopper head bit with the 2 lengths of guttering running to it.

No - it’s this, but with the downpipe coming out of it.

 

I think

Ta, will have a butcher’s. Still can’t quite believe there’s not a pre-made bit that does the job.

Picture of said shed may help....

Surely if 5 sided 90 bends aren't goig to be any good to u??

 

U could possibly silicon 2 straight bits together overlapping and cutting the correct angle out of the side, unless u can get corners 70 odd degrees, could then just have ur down pipe coming from a open ended join.

Or i could cut the above pieces side off and have that getter coming in slightly higher. But ur anfgles will be the problem (unless 90 at back corner??)

[lord_seagrave]

Yeah - 90-degrees at the back corner.

It's a corner summer house.

The bit you want does not exist, possibly cos it would require special corner brackets and not able to get the strength in it due to angle and hole(not enough demand

[amateur]

The neatest solution would be a right-angle gutter, a short connecting length and then a straight down-pipe (or 2 if you want it to be symmetrical).

As Konnie says above, I doubt if a corner-downpipe exists

This is what we used with a corner section connected to it. We couldn't find a corner with a running outlet. So the downpipe was round from the corner.

Have your down pipe on a straight edge of the shed 300mm from the corner joint and run your gradients to that point.

You don’t want a down pipe right on the point of the corner as it looks pap and you cannot reliably support the downpipe.

[lord_seagrave]

Thanks chaps - hadn’t considered the bracketing/support aspect.

I understand about running the gradients down to one of the straight sides, but isn’t my guttering going to look as though it is permanently hanging off?

I’ll play around with a few bits and see what I can do. So long as I know the right bit doesn’t exist, I can invest a bit of effort getting it to do what I want it to do.

Incidentally, the straight-down section of downpipe would only be on the corner for a short run anyway, before it had to come across the back/side of the shed to a waterbutt.

Will post more questions as I think of them - and/or pictures when I’m done/bankrupt
