Just be aware that steep rooves are also subject to roof slope factoring that allows for wind driven rain when determining gutter cross sectional areas and downpipe sizes. For example, a 30 degree slope is subject to a roof area multiplier of 1.29 and a 40 degree slope has a multiplier of 1.42. If this isn't correctly done, then you could have gutter overflow problems that result in lost yield during wind driven heavy rain events. 3in1 Supadiverta.
