Sloped angle guttering

[Ivor Windybottom]

I still don't understand the design. If it's a weird angle to fit the boundary then you can't overhang the roof into the neighbour's airspace.

Redesign it so it's not weird! Stop trying to gain every possible square inch at all costs.

Angled corners on brickwork almost always look terrible. I built a nice 135 degree corner using special bricks. But everyday builders use standard bricks with horrible fillets of mortar, it always looks awful. I doubt you could even buy angled bricks in whatever weird angle this design needs.

I thought it was so a car driving into the garage would have less chance of scraping the wall. But as you said a pretty strange design.

Just set it further in, you'll lose about 6 square inches of interior space and not have a stupidly shaped wall and gutter to deal with.

We had a 45 degree internal wall at a previous house. It was a right pain for the room layout, they don't make triangular furniture so it just ends up as dead space that the hoover won't fit into.

This is how the average brickie deals with an angled corner...

Does anyone not think this looks awful?

The brickwork follows the roof, it’s not just an overhanging roof. Problem is the brickwork is already done and we have realised this issue after. Either way we might have a solution of using a continuous dry verge combined with felt to use along the angled part. Will post back here with pictures.

Birdsmouth? They can look alright, but that one looks like it’s such a wide angle that you end up with those unsightly bed joints. Probably how it’s meant to be done tho.

The brickwork is like that (although neater) but that is covered by a fence anyway since it’s a rear garage.

It’s not just the masonry either. Any obscure angled cut back means water will flow off the roof and down the wall. As well as being a rubbish inside too.
