When to clean gutters in Gardner

Gutter and downspout size for Gardner rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Gardner the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.33 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 860 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,730, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
