In the final part of the shed videos i will show you how to install guttering on your shed, this will take the surface water away form your shed and prevent the base of your shed from rotting.
Amazon Links to the tools and materials used:
Chalk line amzn.to/3Rt03nd
8m Stanley tape measure amzn.to/40p8tQz
Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly amzn.to/3HRF8aj
Solvent weld amzn.to/40iDCp7

This is an easy DIY project that will help prevent your shed from rotting for as little as £30. The first step is to decide on which way the water will need to fall and where you are going to locate the down pipe. You then need to make a line with a fall of about 20mm over the total distance of the shed, a string line is ideal for this.
Install the guttering brackets using domed head screws as they will be tightening onto plastic. You can secure the hopper to the same line as the brackets to ensure the guttering will run straight.
To fit the guttering end cap and also put the guttering into the hopper use petroleum jelly to help the joints slide together.
The downpipe is installed using a similar method and the final position of the downpipe will determine if you need to create a set or if you can just use a shoe on the end of the pipe.

Thanks for that. I don't have a chalk line, so I just used a homemade string plumb line between the two end brackets then lined up the middle brackets to the string. I also added a baseboard first as I had some spare timber. It rained last night and it works a treat!

Great video, just bare in mind that petroleum based products will attack rubber, silicone grease is the recommended lube for rubber.

Great video. To stop the downpipe dropping, I put 1" self tapping through the brackets and pipe with a neoprene washer between the pipe and bracket.

Glad you add value. But for those of us new to DIY, can you break it down into simpler terms/explanation

@Tholius to stop the downpipe (round pipe coming from the guttering to the floor) from dropping/moving you could put a small screw through bracket into the downpipe. Hope that makes sense
Will be my first attempt, now single I have to try things and I hope this helps

To be honest, it is really easy to install guttering. Just take your time, and don't forget to put vaseline on the jounts/rubber of the guttering to make it easier to assemble.
Great job! I hope I don't goof up my shed.😬

Video shows both ends done with gutter clipped in place but he would have had to take the gutter off again to fix on the centre clip and as someone else commented downpipe at the end of video appears to be on a different shed.

Hi, i can assure you it's all on the same shed as it's my shed. It's just that some of the footage was filmed on the front camera on my phone, and that reversed the video image As for the guttering clips, you can just work your way along the guttering as the clip it in
I notice that you've painted over all the felt nails along your shed, just wondering which waterproof paint you would recommend, I was thinking of using everbuild black jack.

Where did you get the pvc gutter? Does this come in a kit or did you purchase individually? Is there an amazon link or did you purchase from hardware store lowes or Home Depot? Thanks and great vid! I

Hi, Would it be best to purchase the guttering from a local hardware store. You can get the accessories (joints, bends, end caps) from amazon. The links i posted ate for the Uk. Thanks for your comment 👍

Hi, yes in the uk there are a few types of guttering and different profiles/shapes. Once you have identified the style of guttering, then the guttering parts are easy to obtain and very cheap.
How did you get shed and guttering up against fence?

Hi, i moved the shed once i installed the guttering as the shed was empty. As the fence is a concrete post and panel construction, i could have removed the panels.
Hi there does the roof felt sit inside the gutter at all ?

You can use the same principle, but to fix the guttering, you will need to use self tapping screws or nuts and bolts. Hope that helps!

Very informative thank you. I've got a shed with a large overlapping roof so I've bought a 2x4 for it to extend out to reach the drop. There isn't any place to drain it so I'm creating a barrel pond for the extra runoff that don't go in the water butt. Please pray for me I'm useless at this stuff, I got no one to ask for help and disabled with weak wrists, so this will be "fun" 😐👍
