Copper Gutters - Where to buy?

Posted by SeventyFix@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 22 comments

Anyone know where I can purchase copper gutters? I built my wife a she-shed and it would look cool with copper gutters. It's a small job - just 12 feet straight across the front. Although I've never installed gutters before, I have sweated copper pipe for plumbing. Thank you in advance.

That actually might make them more appealing. The patina could look nice.

Not usually, the real problem is if theres a leak in the gutter for any reason. The water run off will bring the copper with and stain whatever porous item/landscape/stucco is under it.

You can spray them with Everbrite or another UV-resistant protective clear coat to prevent oxidation.

Brand new, it's pretty. It won't last.

Also, people steal wire because of the copper.

Ea-Nāṣir Corporation has been selling fine quality copper wares for centuries.

With such a small job and copper being an easy theft, have you considered regular material gutters and painting them to look copper? Wouldn’t even need to paint the one side.
