A friend's house in Massachusetts also has no gutters. Or rather, from what I can gather, the house has rather large gutters at ground level, filled with gravel. AAMOI what are gutters for? To keep the water away from the foundations, or off the walls when it's windy? And away from nearby people, obviously. -- Mike Barnes Cheshire, England |

If you have the overhang then gutters at high level are not required - and gutters at ground level area deal easier to clean Walls can take a bit of water, its constant deluges from eg roof valleys that need to bee diverted away.. -- Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for the rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge. €“ Erwin Knoll |

Brian we used to give them building warrants with no gutters probably because the main flat roof was drained.....but I drew the line at the unvented voids they wanted under the suspended floors that were level with the ground..... |
