Gutter and downspout size for Prestbury rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Prestbury the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.91 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,040 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,080, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
