But one thing I found out from doing it myself was if you are putting the "dropper" - (the section where the downpipe goes into) into a corner, you will have to glue on the endplate AFTER you put it in place otherwise you won't be able to get to the screws to attach it. The same goes for the end plate at the other end. I had to screw in my endplate after I had put the guttering on as the guttering would not fit through the slots otherwise. Hope this helps.
I'm learning so much with you my friend...have loads of time to waatch and learn...told my wife if only I could get up on some ladders and do what I've learned...Great Video!!!
9/10. Would have been 10/10 but the glue was applied to the gutter where it wipes off on assembly. It should be applied the groove of the joiner where it is much easier to apply and much stronger and less likely to leak. I learnt a lot from this video but found this out after doing it myself :)
Doesn't matter because he measured 3mm from the bottom of the beam to the bottom of the bracket so regardless of whether the beam is level or not the gutter is always dropping 3mm over 5 metres.
@Tomski McDougle if the beam isn't level though it won't necessarily drain the way you want, say the beam was sloping to the right 10mm, (out of level) when it was set 3mm lower on the left hand end it would still mean it was sloping or draining to the right hand end (now out of level by 7mm). If your beam is level then yes, this works perfectly, and since he built it, he would have known it was or checked it was before he set up his gutters.
I agree. An old house for example. Pile slumping etc . That is the videos weak spot , not giving another way to measure fall that is more accurate and less assumptive.
I like the way you move through your project and add on to it. Also the way you use the framing and finishing techniques. You make it easy to help others do it themselves, anyone know the lifespan of the corrugated material of roof?
Nice job , however I would fit a rain head because two roofs flowing into 1 pipe in a heavy rain will cause issues . That length of pipe with two roofs going into it is quite restrictive to flow .
Well, for someone who has never done this before, the fixer went waay too fast so it would be necessary to start from the top and just keep pausing and replaying until the process is totally understood. The parts that he was working with seem so much more modular and better than what we have in usa. Where he is from, the process was straightforward, quick and thorough, with the modularity I saw.
What is the reason for the different placement of the screws in the hanging brackets? For the end bracket there were 4 screws put in the round holes. For the brackets along the length the screws were put in the top holes and the lower slots.
He measured 3mm fall over 5 meters. He would have lost a few mm with his pencil mark and then another few mm with the nail and chalk line. And that is all assuming the beam is perfectly level
Hey Rip, Marley’s website states a 5mm fall for every 10m which is the direction we are following. You can check out the installation guide here: www.marley.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2016/04/Spouting-Downpipe-Trade-Installation-Guide-August-2016.pdf
@@mitre10nzgreat video but measuring a 3mm fall over 5 meters by hand is very dangerous. It was not checked with a level and you are assuming the beam is dead level. 3mm is a very small amount to work to.
All pretty basic thank you but what i really would like to know is how do you get your pencil so sharp without breaking the lead?//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hey George, we recommend PVC solvent, especially if using Marley spouting. Silicone can do the job, but a PVC Solvent has the benefit of bonding faster, being easier to apply, more durable against the elements, and longer lasting as it’s an actual bond hold. ^Matt
The biggest challenge for me to install roof sheet plus guttering onto my balcony roof is that my unit is on top floor of the building and there is no access to go on roof.
Hi Shakil - in that case, feel free to send us a PM on Facebook with some photos of the roof, and we would be so happy to see what advice we give to help. Or otherwise you could head into your local Mitre 10 store with the photos, and chat with one of our team. Cheers, ^Ian
