Going to a 6" gutter will help. Additionally, mount the gutters as high as possible, maintaining proper slope for drainage. Putting splash guards at the bottom of valleys may be helpful too. Todd Miller

When starting a new roof should the roof be started on one end or should it be layed out so there is not a small piece left?

I've tried those things, do you have any other suggestions? DO you know if there is any way to put some sort of a devirter at the bottom of the panel to slow the water down some how? [email protected]

Most products are designed to install from one side to the other. Todd Miller
