Default Roof runoff

In that case, it needs more downspouts.

Problem occurs at two corners of a steeply gabled
roof over a deck. Rainfall collects in such volume
that at the corners it shoots a foot or more horizontally
before falling 18 feet to the deck, where at one corner it
damages the stained railings, and at the other has
encouraged rot in several siding boards below the deck.

You need deflectors on inside corners like that. They will divert the

gush
sideways right into the gutters. Any decent gutter outfit should have
installed them.


But these are outside corners (of the main roof) not inside corners.
