In Balto. / Wash. area I’ve seen gutters promoted in shopping center kiosks that are almost fully enclosed. They appear to rely on the fact that water will adhere to and flow around a bullnose of sufficient diameter. The ‘bullnose’overhangs a traditional gutter that collects and moves water to a downspout. The mockup at the kiosks works like a charm, but I wonder if anyone has any field experience with this type of gutter, or any type that will move water, not clog on a heavily wooded lot (oak, poplar,pine), or if there is an occasional clog, can be cleaned easily.
