Small residential roof, all parameters given — straightforward capacity check
Gutter Sizing
Sizes eaves gutters by computing the design stormwater flow from the roof catchment area and rainfall intensity, then selecting the smallest standard gutter profile whose capacity (scaled from the AS/NZS 3500.3 Table 4.2 reference grade by the square root of the installed grade ratio) meets or exceeds the demand. Used in building roof drainage design to prevent overflow and water damage.
