I'm guttering the summerhouse, in an effort to finally capture some rainwater, and to stop the gradual rot of the lower timbers, where it is drip-drip-drip removing the wood protection constantly.



I've got most of it sussed, but I've realised that it seems that B&Q want me to buy a new piece of 2m guttering each time I want to do any joins, as there seems to be a male end and a female end (well, sort of - both have big holes, bu hopefully you know what I mean). All of the components (like the offset bends for instance), seem to want a regular piece of guttering in one end, but the larger diameter at the other. Am I missing something obvious here. Is there an adaptor available that would allow me to join male to male? I can't see it on the B&Q website.

B+Q (and all the sheds) are useless for mini-line guttering. I got some last year from a local plastics dealer. He only kept certain sections (and colours) in stock, but could get any I needed next day. IIRC, B+Q had none at all in stock, and Wickes only had grey, when I wanted white.

Well, being fair, I've looked on Marley's site, and it seems that the bit that I cannot believe B&Q don't stock just doesn't exist. Which is really pants. Seems that it is designed for one purpose only. Gutter - downpipe - drain. Which is a real pain, as I wanted to go Gutter - downpipe - water butt, as there is no drainage at the end of my garden, and I'd figured that plumbing it straight into a water butt would capture more rain than by using a diverter. I guess I need to look for other sources of 53mm brown pipe.
