Re: Rainwater Harvesting for Yurts
The bent and halved PVC pipe idea immediately crossed my mind as well Knecht. However I've read stressed PVC rapidly degrades with UV exposure. I read where guys have built geodesic and hooped greenhouses out of the stuff and it sagged and failed in only a year. But that's only what I've read, not from experience. Lots or folks around here take small dia. 10' PVC and make hooped frames for their tomato beds.
I sat in my yurt last night contemplating guttering it. Every solution I came up with was all Rube Goldberg goofy. I didn't come up with anything I'd do myself.
However, that said, I've been on job site and seen pro gutter guys install curved gutter on turret eave. There must be a type of gutter tool that can form curves that smooth. I'm thinking the tool can be adjusted for various radii. Might be worth a call to those guys?
