I d like to use regular pvc pipe instead.
Is it possible to make gutters out of pvc pipe.
In my wife s village near madang papua new guinea they always use pvc pipe for guttering on corrugated iron roofs.
They cut a narrow slit along the length of the pipe just wide enough for the corrugations to fit inside the pipe.
Build the entire gutter system and cement it together before splitting the pipe and couplers to create two halves.
Can you see any problems with this type of set up.
I see everyone using the black drain tile pipe but am worried about it getting clogged with twigs and leaves coming down the downspout.
Use pvc cement to connect whole unsplit pipe using lengths of pipe joined by couplers.
The lengths do not need to be precise but should be approximated to the best of your ability.
The narrow strip is then cut into lengths and used to strap the gutter in position.
Using either a pvc cutter or a hacksaw cut the 10 of pvc pipe into lengths of 6 2 6 and 4.
The first step in this project is cutting your pvc pipe down into the correct lengths for the gutter cleaner.
I m wanting to drain my house gutter flow underground to the front of my property.
I ended up cutting off about 1 3rd of the pipe using a table saw.
