There are no limits to the length. However, for one person to operate the system comfortably, we recommend a maximum length of 50 feet for a single seamless span

How do you handle a gutter length greater than 50 feet?

We recommend splitting the gutter in half (end cap to end cap). A small deflector is installed on the roof to prevent water leakage at the split point.

Will a strong wind flip the gutter over?

Not normally. Occasionally a smaller length gutter may blow over in high winds. Rhino prevents this by installing a wind clip to one hinge per gutter section.

How do the gutters handle the extra weight of snow and ice?

The patented design of the hinge focuses the weight down and back onto the hinge. The weight of the snow and ice actually help hold the gutter in place.

Will snow and ice push the gutters over?

No. Not unless you have a slate or metal roof. To prevent snow avalanche on these roof systems, we install snow locks .
