How to fix guttering on a container?

[Vodkagirly]

I need to put some guttering on a container to redirect the water away from my stables. I'm presuming it will be hard to drill in to metal. Any clever ideas on how to do it?

Not hard at all, you just need a decent drill and the proper drill parts, ask in your local DIY place or specialist tool shop they will advise you.

As per Silv you can drill them with a suitable drill and bit. I'd recommend you first attaching a decent bit of taninised/pressure treated timber to the container, then fixing the guttering onto that.

Don't forget if you drill into the wall or roof of it you may compromise the waterproofing of the container.

If you don't want to drill you could attach the guttering to a batten, and use a good grab adhesive to secure. There is one on the market called Sticks Like **** which does exactly what it says! Bear in mind it probably won't last as long as drilling and securing.

Just make sure you seal the holes after, or you'll have a leaky container.

This is the winner! I knew there would be logical way and reduces the risk of water in the container. Thanks so much

Its easy to drill into a container if you have the right tools. My Dad fixed one of those lockable saddle racks to the inside of the container by drilling through the outside in.
