Morning,

I would like to replace my gutters on my garage they are old (bout 10 years) and plastic.

I would like to replace with metal. It is a 2 car garage three sides are 20X20X20
the side that is in my yard has a shed attached to it so it is somewhat of a problem.

I am sure I can do it myself BUT I have been given different answers to some questions.

One guy told me to (after chalking it out) FIRST put up my corners (this will be 6 outside corners and 2 inside corners due to the attached shed) than add the down spouts (where I want them) THAN TO PUT UP THE REAT OF THE GUTTERS.

I don't know if that right or the other way I was told which is to stat with ONE corner than add the gutters and finish up with the down spouts.

Also I have been looking at HomeDepot to purchase all of them and I would like to add the gutters as close to the ends of the garage BUT they seem to only have a standard set up where the down spout will be somewhere around a foot or more inside from the corner (hope you understand what I mean) is there a way to add the downspouts on the corners.
Also how many downspouts do you think I will need to add I thought three was good enough.
