Sketch of a parapet wall and roof foot.
Questions and
answers.
P-gutters are a type box gutter. The term seems to be
interchangeable.
They drain rainwater from the bottom edge(s) of a sloping roof
surface.
They generally appear to be flat, that is the top edges are parallel to
the parapet wall and the roof surface.
The bottom surface must have a fall, generally between 1:40 to
1:200 slope.
The design of an efficient P-gutter is not a trivial matter. Unlike an
About Me external fascia gutter the consequences of a box gutter not doing it's
job can be disastrous!
For this reason the roof framing should be designed at the start to
accommodate efficient gutters.
In the sketch above I have drawn metal nail plate trusses that have a
specific step to allow for the gutter.
The actual material for the gutter is usually out of "Zincalume" type
sheet steel, but galvanised sheet and stainless steel is also common.
The gutter boards are to provide support for the actual pressed
metal. A new trend is to not use boards, but to use thicker metal, say
2.0mm instead of 0.8mm.
This has the decided advantage of increasing the depth of the
parapet gutter.

Portal frame.

Known as a triangle gutter this is not recommended. It is too easy to

get blocked up and has limited capacity.

This is an acceptable alternative to the triangle gutter but while this

may be easier to frame it does not have the capacity that is possible
with the first example.
