Copper will not rust, it is well suited for nautical environments and it is a very durable and long lasting material with an average service life of approximately 70 years.

Custom lengths, sizes and heavier gauges may be available. Please contact us for pricing.

Joining gutter lengths / seams

To put 2 lengths of gutter together, simply cut back the front bead / lip of the gutter 1" or more depending on your needs. Do the same for the hem in the back if present. Cut where needed to create tabs. Overlap the 2 lengths of the gutter and join them by soldering if possible, or with zip screws / rivets and sealer if not.
Coupling pieces can be custom manufactured if needed. Keep in mind that using a coupling piece like a cover plate gives the appearance of 2 seams. Splice plates can also be manufactured. Unlike cover plates, these sit on the inside of the gutter, giving the appearance of one seam, like overlapping 2 gutter lengths.

Traditional bead half-round gutters are custom made manually and not roll formed through a machine from coil stock as traditional gutters, which limits the lengths to 19.5' and not 20' or "infinite lengths".
Copper is an ever changing material that will patina over time.
