How to fit shed guttering and connect to water butts 

Best guttering tutorial on here. Thank you

Really helpful, thank you! I love this video because it goes straight to the job requirement...no fuss, just really clear, useful information!

I’m just about to embark on fitting guttering to both sides of our allotment shed, into a huge water container. It’s quite scary trying to work out bends and levels, but your video has been an amazing help, I couldn’t have started it without it. Thank you so much. I’m off to subscribe, then onto buying the parts I need. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. My wooden shed wall was getting soaked before I put up guttering. Dry as a bone now. Tip: keep the lid loose, but weighed down with a brick so cats can't fall in. Then you can dip a watering can in, rather than wait ages for the little tap to fill your watering can. I've also seen water butts set lower into a hole in the ground so you don't have to lift heavy watering cans up high - great if you have limited mobility or arm strength. If you are not using the tap, you can discard the plastic base altogether and set the butt on the ground if you are dipping.

Thank you for explaining all the parts! Makes it much easier to locate and purchase them.

Great help with my new shed and water butt project. Will try the double roof capture, too.

l found this information very helpful. I want to put some gutting on one side of my shed straight into my pond . After watching this video I feel it is within my capabilities. A big thank you.

Many thanks for this video. Very helpful and clearly explained.

Very simple and clear - thank you

Nice, clear instructions. Thank you.

Good video. I have a shed with a sloping roof so water dripping and causing seeping to the floor. Will give this a go!

Thank you for posting this tutorial

Thank you, just what I needed 😎

Thanks - just what I needed.

Thank you for your video it has helped me put up some guttering on my shed.

Great video mate many thanks

Smashing video. Very clear. Thank you! 🙂

This was really helpful, thank you

So helpful thank you!

Very helpful, thanks!

Great Video mate clearly explained and very informative thank you for sharing. this is meant as a constructive comment and not as a criticism but, I Have to say at times i thought the background music was a little too loud.

Thank you AB, this was very informative. I'd like to add, though, that there shouldn't be a "downward fall" from the diverter to the water butt if you want to avoid overflow. The bottom of the diverter should be level with the inlet to the water butt because if the diverter is positioned higher than the butt inlet, the butt will overflow with rain water instead of being diverted down the downpipe to a drain. If the diverter is positioned lower than the butt inlet, the butt will not fill at all, and instead just flow down the downpipe into the drain. Looking at your video here, the diverter appears to be higher than the water butt inlet, and thus the butt will overflow - unless, like me, this is intentional because I prefer to chain multiple water butts using cheap connector kits.

Great video thanks

Very useful video; well explained. But please reduce the music. I feel confident with my upcoming shed guttering project.

Very informative, thanks

Fantastic

very helpful. Thanks

Lovely video update. Thanks a lot for sharing! Liked and subscribed! By the way do you keep chickens also?

Hi, great video. At 3.22 you show what appears to be a blanking cap for the downpipe. This looks exactly what I need. I've just bought a slimline butt for the allotment shed but the only pipework supplied is 25mm corrugated (I have 68mm pipe leading dow from the gutter. My options are to either try and find a reducing attachment or blank the 68mm pipe off and run the hose from that using the attachment in your vid. Where did you get it?(Google searched have proven fruitless)

Very informative video and clear instructions thank you! I am attempting to install guttering and a water butt around my flat roof garage, although I'm not sure how to drain the excess from the down pipe once the water butt is full. To do what you did may be an option although I'm concerned it would lead to damp ingress into the garage. Any ideas?

this is perfect!!!

Very interesting video. I was wondering however why you chose to connect the two gutters to one downpipe. It saves the cost of an extra diverter but this will be more than offset by the extra pipe and bends and joints. Diverters do not divert 100 % of the rain to the water butt, especially in a heavy downpour so 2 diverters would be more efficient than a single one.

Very interesting and informative video. I am shortly going to emulate your guttering project on our new shed , but could you tell me what size guttering you used. Thank you.

Good video, thanks. It looks like 4inch guttering you're using! Is that best the best size when having multiple water butt's?.. my new shed is slightly smaller than yours and will fit just a small water butt. I'm thinking of using 3inch miniflo guttering, would this be adequate or is it best to go with the 4inch? Thanks again..

These types of gutters aren't available in America, are they? I can't find them. This looks so easy compared to what we have available. :(

Hi great video thank you, but I need an answer I can't seem to find anywhere. I've just bought a water butt for the first time and we're getting a new shed so will fit it from there. The trouble is, where the shed will be (in our v.small garden in the hottest part of the garden)! It really gets very hot in that corner when the weather is at its hottest. Won't the water almost boil in the butt? It's a smaller 100 ltr one. I just think the water might turn foul in the hot weather, in full afternoon sun. Can you answer my question?

Brilliant video, but - Help please ! I have two butts connected to my shed guttering but there is no downpipe into a drain or soakaway. What can i do if the butts are full? At the moment I just fill watering cans and empty the cans down a drain that does go into a soakaway. The drain is opposite the shed, but I can't lift the setts and tarmac to put a pipe across to the drain. Ok - this should have been done when the setts and tarmac were laid, but the guys who did it didn't do it. They went bankrupt - surprise, surprise. Any ideas that don't involve major earthworks would be most welcome. Thank you.

Sorry for the silly question but can you remember the dimensions of this guttering? I know this video was a while ago but thought I'd ask

Who sells this style of rain gutter in USA?
