Pacific Yurt Gutters

[Kasnyku]

Hi,
We bought the gutter system that came with our Pacific Yurt. 24ft. We are having a debate on whether putting the gutters up is a good idea. Our yurt is in northern Washington State up in the woods. Winters are fairly mild, doesn't freeze more than a couple times a year, though it can be very rainy and windy. I think they will protect the outer canvas from all the dirty water running down the sides. My son said he thinks they would be difficult to clean and it's hesitant to cut into the canvas in any way. Thoughts ? Thanks
