Should You Get 5" or 6" Gutters? What are Pros and Cons?
Roofstruction, Youngsville NC
Mar 12, 2026
Gutter sizing is a bit misleading. While the gutters are only an inch different in width, the volume of 5" and 6" gutters differs by nearly two thirds! That's because 5" gutters are made from gutter coil that's several inches narrower than 6" gutters. In fact, 6" gutters hold 2 gallons per linear foot while 5" gutters only hold 1.2 gallons per linear foot.
