What the customer needed
The pavilion needed a dependable replacement for its rusted-out gutter while preserving the site's existing plan to collect runoff from the large metal roof in a cistern.
What shaped the plan
The open-sided park pavilion has a low-slope metal roof with an approximately 2-on-12 pitch. A metal cistern sits at the back of the structure, where the new downspout needed to deliver the collected roof water.
The system and the reasoning
Mac recommended a Galvalume 6-inch seamless steel box gutter to match the pavilion's architectural style and a larger smooth 4-by-5 steel downspout for the concentrated runoff from the metal roof.
What dcGutterPRO completed
dcGutterPRO removed the rusted existing gutter, formed and installed a Galvalume 6-inch seamless steel box gutter, and added one smooth 4-by-5 steel downspout that terminates at the opening of the existing cistern.
How the finished system came together
The finished Galvalume box gutter follows the long metal roof edge and suits the pavilion's steel construction. Its smooth 4-by-5 downspout bridges the roofline and cistern cleanly, restoring the site's dedicated rainwater-collection route.
