Posted by Blue3992 on July 27, 2006 at 19:05:40 from (205.188.117.14):
Is there a resource out there that I could use to help me design the gutters system for my house? I have a two-story home, about 40 x 34, plus two porches. Three sides of the house have sidewalks and a level grade away from the house. The back of the house has no sidewalk, and the ground slopes away from the house, so I would like to only put downspouts in the back of the house, if possible. Right now, the place just has gutters over the entryways, but I�d like to put them around the whole house to help keep the basement dry. I�ve heard a couple of rules of thumb so far, i.e. slope 1 inch for every 40 ft of gutter, but
I�ve still got a ton of questions. Like, can I get away with just two downspouts, or do I need more? How big of downspouts do I need to handle the roof area? Is it OK to let water drip from the main roof down to the patio roof and then into the gutter? Etc. I was hoping to find one website or one book that would cover everything about placing gutters. Any ideas?

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
