Should you choose 5 or 6 inch gutters?

​

​

​

​

​

​

The choice between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters depends on several factors, including:

 

 

1. Roof Size and Pitch

- Larger roofs or those with a steeper pitch require more water-carrying capacity, making 6-inch gutters a better choice.

- Smaller roofs or those with a gentler pitch can often get by with 5-inch gutters.

​

2. Rainfall Intensity

- If you live in an area with heavy rainfall or frequent storms, 6-inch gutters can handle the increased water flow.

- Areas with lighter rainfall can often use 5-inch gutters.

​

3. Cost Considerations

- 6-inch gutters are typically a bit more expensive than 5-inch gutters, so budget may also be a factor.

 

4. Gutter Clogging

-6 inch gutters don't get clogged with debris nearly as quickly as smaller 5 inch gutters.

​-They come with larger 3 by 4 inch downspouts which don't clog as easily.

​

​

As a general rule of thumb:

​

- 5-inch gutters are suitable for most residential applications with moderate rainfall.

- 6-inch gutters are recommended for larger homes, homes with multiple stories, or those located in areas with heavy rainfall or close to trees.
