    Looks a good job Kevin :blue thumb: Wait until it rains, or play a hose pipe on the roof and look if the guttering is catching the water. Note the water will run around the edge of the shed roof and drip, you want to catch these if you can. If it does need moving out just place a 20mm piece of wood under each gutter bracket.

    Hello @HarryS

    Thanks, I have actually been putting off doing it as I was worrying I would do it wrong

    I have actually just moved the guttering down an inch as I think it was too close to the roof which should allow the water to enter the guttering better, in theory.

    Also, I fitted the guttering so it extends beyond the edge of the roof at each end so hopefully it should catch all the runoff, hopefully.

    Now all I need to do is wait for the rain which is forecast here in the week.

    Thanks

    Kevin

      Hello all

      I hope you are well.

      Just a quick update.

      It has rained the last couple of days, quite heavy and more to come, and the guttering is catching the runoff from the shed roof so all looks good.

      Now, I just want to spread a layer of gravel behind the shed to help with the drainage.

      Hopefully the issue with the moss in the garden bed will now be resolved, hopefully.

      Thanks

      Kevin

        Hi Kevin,

        You obviously made a good job of the guttering after being nervous about it. :thumbsup:

        Hello @Sheal

        Thanks, it is good to finally have been able to get it done, especially considering that I was looking to get someone in to do it for me.

        Kevin
