alternatives to roof gutter on a shed?
Hi,
Just built a 9x16 shed, raised up 12" on sonotube foundations at the corners and middle. I'm hoping to avoid adding a rain gutter because I hate cleaning the leaves out of it. Neighbors suggested: 1. put a wide row of pavers around the shed perimeter to prevent the water from washing out the ground, but not sure how wide that should be. 2. put a wide row of decorative gravel or mulch, but that sounds like a maintenance headache. I figure a bunch of readers must have had similar experiences. Advice and suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Theodore. |

A shed roof is small compared to a house roof, so the amount of water falling will be much less. Plant some tough grass, eg tall fescue, if it's where that will work and see how it goes. |
