Corrugated Roof - Small Rain issue into Guttering

[bains1010]

Hi

I built a corrugated roof last year which slants towards my garage and the rain water goes into the guttering.

I have a small issue in that the rain some times gets to the end of the corrugated sheet and then rolls back and drips down under the roof, is there something I can put on the end of the corrugated sheet or between the gutter and sheet to force the rain to drop into the gutter?

I have attached a picture and indicated where I have the issue, any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

A bead of silicon on the edge should stop rain coming back.

Hi

Do you mean on the edge or on the underside of the corrugated sheets?

Thanks

Or use fillers.

Get another roof sheet, cut of sections that will fit over the gutter and reach that first timber, slide the section in over gutter, ( giving more overhang ) do the same along the whole roof, fit a batten to the first timber holding the other end up.



You dont want to be closing the gap to much, you have a vent and boiler flue discharging into there.

Thanks for your replies, the Flue worried me when I built it last year and I plan to move it in the summer, but it hasn't actually been a problem. I get some condensation if it's been on for a while but it's quite a big area out there so the fumes don't hang about.

Best to get further advice from the plumbing forum as there should be a minimum clearance

i wonder if a co2 alarm would activate if it was located in that area
