I noticed that many pictures of houses with metal roofs do not have gutters. Why is that? How is all the run off from heavy rain handled - keeping it away from foundation.	Guest User 7/15/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3456/find/

ice damaged gutters. Ice slides right off and smashes the gutters all to hell	Guest User 1/10/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3458/find/
You may want to consider using Snow Guards to prevent the snow/ice from sliding off.	Nate Libbey 1/13/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3459/find/
Some areas of the country do not use gutters as much as other areas. My metal roofed homes have always had gutters -- no problems. And I am in the snowbelt. Several inches today in fact. I do suggest 6" gutters from min .032" aluminum with internal brackets fastened into every rafter tail.
