guttering on greenhouse
« on: December 01, 2014, 17:17 »
Just fixed up some guttering on my ancient aluminium framed greenhouse. All looks good but there is a slight gap between the aluminum frame and the gutter if you see what I mean. So much of the water is lost down the gap. I was thinking of fixing a thin strip of upvc to the greenhouse to let the water flow over the gap into the gutter. Do you think that is the way to go? or how about some heavy duty waterproof tape?

Hope that makes sense without a picture!

If its only a very narrow gap, a bead of silicone might do the trick.  8)
Sets a low standard and fails to achieve it.

its a bit too much for that. The guttering sits underneath the lip of the greenhouse, so its probably a cm or so gap. Will have a look in a DIY store see if there is a strip of something that might do the job otherwise may try some tape

Thanks

I used a bit of lead sheeting to join mine together - easily malleable, but I had a bit lying around :)
