Square guttering?

judyvin · Post by **judyvin** » Sat 05 Mar 2016 9:32 am

I am looking to buy small square guttering to put around an upper terrace and so far haven't had much luck finding any. Does anyone know where I might find this? I guess the only other alternative if not is to have some made in metal.
Thanks

We have square guttering, which I think probably came from Coban, I would have thought most of the Yapi Markets would have it.

Hi Judy, I brought some with me from the UK, as I was advised by our builder that the small size wasn't available here.

Of course, things have moved on, and there may be somewhere that stocks it by now.

I think that the best thing to say, when enquiring, is that it is need 'for a shed' - because that's what the small size is mainly used for in the UK...

The 'Posh' bathroom showroom down the New Harbour Road does sell the larger size, so if you can't find it elsewhere, it might be worth asking there.

I would advise against small guttering - I think small square guttering will struggle to cope with a deluge here... that is, it's always 'famine or feast here' never a happy medium... one month sun - one day Noah's Ark!

Çağra (Karakum) sell guttering of a very high quality - the normal size can cope with a substantial downpour and do its job. Ten years on it's still strong and can support a ladder placed against it with my not inconsiderable bulk!

It might not look as pretty and quaint as a small gauge but then if it does the job - and the smaller gauge doesn't, what's the point?
