Hi Lee
You can get continuous guttering but if it is over eight metres it will bow.
We were advised not to have continuous guttering and to go for the standard
type.
with overflow sections so if you have torrential rain and the guttering
cannot carry the flow it will overflow through these areas.
What you do not want is it flowing back into your walls.
It is rated at one and a half Litres per second discharge.
The back is higher than the front so this should not happened.
The guttering we have there at the moment has lasted 33 years so if this
lasts as long it will see me out.
There are some tricky areas especially over the front veranda this has
aluminium sheeting which cannot be walked on.
They will have to changed this area by standing on the roof tiles and
leaning over.
The other tricky area is over our bedroom which is two stories high and
with power lines running there.
I suppose they will have an elevated platform which they can raise to
accommodate various heights.
I will use as many of these brackets in my workshop as I can for they are or
should be in good condition.
Regards
Ray .

Might I suggest Ray those brakets would be great in your garage,
above eye level to hang tools or other products on. Tell me more
about this color coded quad guttering. Is this the type that they
mold right on your property?Lee

You have an unusual magnetic personality. Don't walk too close to
metal objects which are not fastened down.
