This question comes from someone who has been working in Uganda where he has put in plastic gutters and bio-sand water filters made in Uganda in Kampala for $50 but is now looking for some info for a school that is going to collect rainwater using more substantial guttering from galvanised sheet metal or corrugated iron gutter. What advice do we have?

I would like to see any information or examples of corrugated iron gutters as it seems like a viable proposal.

Also, we would like to confirm from others :- 1. is 26 gauge thick enough for V-gutters in intense rainfall areas 2. if we use V-gutters, what should be the spacing of supports 3. What is appropriate sealing material/method for joining gutter sections
