For roofs with a metal covering your exact spacing will be determined by the peaks and valleys of your roof sheeting panels.

Install the remaining straps with a spacing of about 2 ft 61 cm. Once cut mount the pvc length using gutter hangers. This will be far easier than splitting the pipes and couplers beforehand and having to try to cement half pieces. On the end of the gutter that will be placed on the lower bracket drill two small holes.

The first time i saw a picture of a gutter garden i was hooked and had to have one for myself. Make sure that the lower end of each gutter length is the end with the two drainage. Snap each length of gutter into the brackets.

Install a self drilling aluminum roofing screw that pierces and secures the flashing gutter and supporting strap photo 2 and 3. Box gutters are actually built off of the rafters of the building they are not hung from the building as metal gutters are.
