Guttering length on shed

[hi___rez]

Hi all

I’m in the process of building a shed from scratch, but trying to make it look more like a garden studio. It’s 13ft x 6ft and I want the roof to slope the length of it, rather than the width. The question I’ve got is, if I run the guttering along the width of the building, is there a chance there won’t be enough to accommodate water in a heavy downpour?

I know it would make much more sense for the roof to slope widthways and have a longer gutter, but I’m trying to achieve a particular aesthetic which unfortunately means making things much harder for myself. If it’s a no-go, then I can just run the gutter lengthways (but would prefer not to!)

Thanks

If you're worried about standard sized guttering, fit deep flow guttering.

Assuming its near a fence [1mtre or less from Boundary] your limited to 2.5m high without planning

Ah, thanks. That could be a good solution. So assume it’s just able to capture more water than standard guttering?

Cheers big-all. Already factored that in and it’s going to be bang on 2.5m.

Check out house roofs. Look at their size, see the gutter size?
