Hey everyone! I've got a tricky situation by my front door where three different roof sections come together, and I'm concerned about water pooling in the planter areas. I'm looking for advice on how to add gutters in this kind of setup. I've shared a picture [here](https://i.imgur.com/JGtOYUR.jpeg) to give you a better idea. Any tips on how to handle this? Thanks a bunch! Also, I've added some more images [here](https://imgur.com/a/yk22Z1V) for reference.

I’d suggest hanging the two longer gutters as close to the edge of the roof as possible without interfering with the lower roof section. Then, place a short gutter across underneath those long ones. This way, you'll collect the water efficiently from all sections. It sounds like a good plan to manage the water flow!

HomeFixer08: That's a great idea! I was thinking along the same lines—drain the water from the long sides towards the middle to a larger downspout, maybe even make the downspout decorative. It could really enhance the look near the entrance!
