/diy/ - Do It Yourself

there isn't a cheap way to do it, unless you want to nigger rig it by bending 200 feet of aluminum flashing into a U shaped trough and fixing it to the edge of your roof.
it'll look like shit and cost you maybe $150.

Some gutter companies will run the gutter and sell the parts for a DIY. Don't use the plastic sections, looks like crap and leaks. You have a ladder, level and other related hand tools? Pretty easy, did it for a summer, find the balance point walk it up, set your height, drive a screw, set your pitch, attach clips screw them down. Punch the downspout hole then zip screw the downspout. Don't fall or electrocute yourself; sometimes it's easier to pay just make sure the contractor has insurance so when he falls it's all on him.

putting on aluminum gutters is not that hard as long as you're mostly doing straight runs...

find a burned out meth/crack house and rip the gutters off like a boss

You don't need gutters. They are just there to stop water from falling off the edge and eroding the soil from around your house. Just dump some concrete around the perimeter of your house where the water comes off the roof and you're good.

You can buy aluminum gutter & downspout from home depot for like $1 a foot.

Do you really think a crack house is going to have nicer gutters?

>>1402182
Gutters off a 50 year old house are probably less chinky than your plastic home depot shit.

>>1401229
dont live in US but maybe ask local sheet metal manufacturers and buy spouting from them. Also make sure existing spouting have enough fall to downpipes if not then you will have to increase fall.

How do you own a house but $1000 will break the bank

Gutters are typically powder coated aluminum and last a very long time.

I just did some gutters on my house. Just cheap vinyl ones. $4.10 for 10 feet.

>>1407356
Where'd you buy them from?

>>1401539
Can confirm this is a dumb idea. I don't have gutters on my giant garage, and there is concrete around the back where water runs off. The concrete looks like it's been water boarded and there are clear and defined markings where the water drips. It ruins the concrete, albeit over decades not years.

This. But instead of concrete just do an open french drain.

>>1407707
mind you a french drain is point less if you don't pitch it right but OP sounds like a poorfag and should sell his house.

Poor faggot. I bet you're too poor to have home insurance because if your gutters are fucked or don't even have gutters they wouldn't insure your dump.

>>1401539
Fucking idiot.
>>1407525
Chinese water torture of concrete.
>>1407707
But then you have a perimeter of gravel around your house like some sort of Transylvanian farmer. You hang garlic too?
>french drains
are for poorly constructed foundations.
