Is It Possible To Make Gutters Out Of Pvc Pipe

The narrow strip is then cut into lengths and used to strap the gutter in position.

Is it possible to make gutters out of pvc pipe.

I see everyone using the black drain tile pipe but am worried about it getting clogged with twigs and leaves coming down the downspout. Initially i was going to just cut the completely in half so one pipe would make two gutters but the more i thought about it the more i wanted a deeper gutter then that. In my wife s village near madang papua new guinea they always use pvc pipe for guttering on corrugated iron roofs. I m wanting to drain my house gutter flow underground to the front of my property.

Use pvc cement to connect whole unsplit pipe using lengths of pipe joined by couplers. Pvc pipe is very strong so i just put steel screws inside through the back of it. Build the entire gutter system and cement it together before splitting the pipe and couplers to create two halves. The lengths do not need to be precise but should be approximated to the best of your ability.

Using either a pvc cutter or a hacksaw cut the 10 of pvc pipe into lengths of 6 2 6 and 4. Pvc pipe that is 4 inches or more in diameter can be split lengthwise and used as a simple homemade alternative to a gutter. Can you see any problems with this type of set up. I ended up cutting off about 1 3rd of the pipe using a table saw.
