A ground gutter is similar to the french drains familiar to most builders with a few additional components.
On ground gutter.
Per foot toward the back of the house.
The trench is 24 in.
Rain gutters which run along the base of a roof do more than keep downpours from drenching people as they come and go.
Convert a clog prone underground gutter drainage pipe with sprinkler head into a diy rain gutter watering system to redirect rain water into the garden.
The high capacity gutter channels and redirects rainwater to help prevent garden erosion and foundation damage.
Start by digging a 1 ft.
Wide enough to catch rain falling from the eaves.
An alternative is an inground gutter which diverts water away from the foundation wall.
Deep at the front and pitching 1 4 in.
It is engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions.
It s out of sight doesn t require any maintenance and is relatively simple to install even as a retrofit.
Featuring durable vinyl construction this extension can be buried bent or connected to additional sections.
The gutter is maintenance free and cleans with a hose.
The vinyl material resists rusting and corrosion.
On this project we started by digging a trench along the foundation wall 12 in.
It does not require paint and the traditional style complements most homes.
