Gutter down pipe - Around corner possible?

ando

Hi,

I have a cabin out the back with standard guttering and have the need to feed the downpipe into a water butt at the back of the cabin. I have tried numerous routes of getting the water to the butt... it never works fully and I've been disappointed with the outcome so far, so I'm looking to divert 100% of the rainwater from the downpipe around the corner of the cabin and travel 5 meters at a slight angle to the water butt.

Does anyone know where to source the guttering pipes that I'm looking for? Kind of like the attached picture

If you extend the gutter out further than the ridge line you won't need that stupid bend just a running outlet with a stopper in the end.

Hey, good idea but I cant really extend the guttering without hacking into the side of the cabin (see pic attached)

Just turn that bottom joint in the picture through 90 degrees and you'll be able to work the rest out for your self.

If all the water is going into the butt then you need an overflow drain on the top of the butt.

Rotate the current bend 90 degrees, which will bring the gutter to the corner.

I think you can buy 90 degree bends, which you can then use to bring the gutter round the corner.

Then you'll need a third bend to get to going vertically down again.

I think.

I think it's rectangular piping, not sure it will rotate 90.

Never seen rectangular piping that wasn't the formed stuff like the first example pic, the OP's second pic looks square to me.

It's surely square, cause they don't always want the bend to go perpendicular to the wall. It wouldn't make sense to have to buy a difference bend piece if you wanted to go parallel vs perpendicular?

You are both probably right, it must be an illusion in the first photo.

I had a similar situation on a new shed install and used some offset bends to get around the corner. Bear in mind they are 92.5 degree so the downpipe around the corner wont be 100% vertical. I have small run so I was ok with it.
