    I have tried attatching my picture but it wont let me and I have tried uploading the picture but again it wont let me what am I doing wrong!
    basicly its 5 short lenghs of guttering put slanted on a wall so the water flows from one to the other till it gets to the bottom, simple to do but quite effective

    That is what my hubby is going to do for me too when he gets back from work (he works offshore) I have been waiting for a while to get it sorted. I think the mindees will love it.

    I can't see the pic but seen the one on ebay.

    We got the bamboo water channelling kit as part of a grant but no stands so have to struggle to put it together if someone could make me one of those it would be fantastic!!! I've also seen it done with drain pipes which is cheaper.
