just self installed a 10meter length guttering on a pergolla roof. colorbond sheets are at a slight angle(noticeable) unsure of angle, but rain does run downwards.My problem is that the rains off-under-and back (2inchs) beneith the sheets and drops off between the facia+guttering. any ideas as to how to prevent this happening?????????????

Does sound like the roof is not sloped enough. Not sure what is a colourbond sheet is but is it possible to fit a small L-shape upvc underneath and centred in the middle of the gutter to act as a drip so the rain will hit the drip and run down to the gutter.

Hi
If you can not fit an L shaped piece of upvc try running a wide silicone bead ......

the building was most likely made for a click in gutter system like hunters.

many modern coservatories are, this cosists of screwing a rail to the fascia pretty similar to a curtain rail with clips, you then put your guttering to up to the rail and clip in, this saves quite a few mill on the distance out from the fascia the guttering will sit.

another type that it might be is an ogee guttering system ie a style that has a flat back and ogee front, thus the back sits hard onto the fascia board.

any of these kinds will work with only a inch gap between the fascia and roof sheet (polycarbonate sheet) overhang.
