Title: Guttering.
Post by: grannyjanny on April 15, 2009, 21:21:24
Can anyone suggest some guttering please. It must be narrow as we only have a small tool store 4'wx2'deep. I think it may have to be a DIY job.

Go for the square... then any off cuts can be used to start peas etc... without falling over!  :)

I've only got a small shed so I bought the mini guttering from Wickes.  I think B&Q also do a version.  I had a good look round when I was getting ready to buy and I didn't find a square mini version.  The mini systems come in shorter lengths than the full size ones so there is less waste.  The offcuts I had were too short to plant anything in.

I'd been looking in skips for months but didn't get lucky so gave in and bought it!

Thanks everyone for suggestions particularly Ceres. I've just had a look on Wick's site & will phone our local one. It looks promising.
