PVC rain gutters are installed all around the roof of each structure. Water is collected from the gutters at each corner, so 5 times per roof.

It is not surprising that a 108 degree rain gutter angle connector doesn't exist so we fabricate them.

We are running into a problem of gutter proximity between the two structures. There's not enough room to install our custom angle water collector.

We opt for a cut in the opposite gutter.

One of the concerns with this solution is the slight movement that could exist between the two structures but we figure that the PVC is flexible enough to accept this movement.
