Riveted SS gutters are only a slight upgrade to regular rust-prone ones. Proper paint type & prep are key. Powdercoat is even an option if short selective sections can fit the oven. The welded & painted SS gutters we've long installed have remained leak/rust/trouble free w/o any signs of peeling. UV & the elements will eventually degrade any finish though.

Why do you have to weld the gutters? Are the rivets not strong enough? I'm sure it's not because so it won't leak, as it's raining man [emoji12]

To rid the reliance on sealants which have limited service life. Welds last & stay watertight. Constant leaks will lead to rot or rust on its mated surfaces like fascia boards( even the ficem type) or metal purlins behind & might eventually affect the eaves & its fasteners. Worse if those gutters are hidden.
My personal preference? No gutters or just on vital areas esp those concentrated valleys. In place of them are ground trenches to collect the rainfall. Zero maintenance.[emoji4]

Bale huwag lang doon sa mga dadanan ng tao/car. Otherwise basa sa waterfalls. Hehe.

Doon naman sa rain gutter grill/screen/mesh para hindi mag-collect at bara ng mga dahon... wala yatang ready made available locally, kailangan pa-customize?

Marami sa Shopee mga gutter filter/strainer, iba ibang klase

Lotsa gutter spout strainers online. Unless you opt ųPVC gutters, most are custom fabricated...won't take much to add a protective screen.
Below is a sample of selective 'seamless' stainless corner gutter catching 2 valleys. No rivets, watertight & straight w/ no fillers. The 2 spouts have not been installed at the time the pic was taken.

Oo nga, mayroon pala online. Wala talaga sa mga hardware store na puwede mo makita sukat. May nakapag-install na from online sellers at standard ang width?

Its a 4 bedroom house with some nice views which i want to take advantage of.

The property is on a slope so no choice but to build multi level.

Starting soon. Hopefully! Attachment 42195 Attachment 42196 Attachment 42197 Attachment 42198

Ayos. Challenge nga itong slope, madaming stairs. Hehe.

Kung iyong driveway/garage aabot sa likod at ilalim ng pool, okay siguro may railings sa dulo ng back driveway bago umabot sa terraced garden? For safety.

Iyong water tank sa rooftop, ground level, or underground? Maganda nga may water tank at solar for emergencies.

No water tank. Malakas tubig dito thankfully. If there is an emergency... Theres always the pool hehe.

But yes Solar and solar water heating on the roof tops.

When I renovated my house more than 10 yrs ago, i have added an overhead tank good for 2 days use.

Very useful especially pag may water shortage or may typhoon.
