Rain gutters are normally available in different standard sizes. For gutters for garden houses, however, this is not always the case, which is why you need to pay close attention to the right size.

 

Material of the gutter

 

While gutters made of plastic can be provided with a foliage protection from any materials, that is not always the case with metal milling channels.
