How to setup guttering on shed to collect water

[r_c]

I have a new shed with an apex roof (like this http://www.shedscene.com/sheds/apex-sheds/select-shed-range-apex-roof).

I would like to install guttering and harvest the rain water in a waterbut on one side. I intend to use Miniflo guttering which seems intetended for sheds etc.

My intention was for the water butt to be on one side, under the gutter there (e.g. not at the apex end).

The only bend I can find is a 112.5 offset bend.

How can I use this type of guttering to direct the water to a waterbutt on one side? I cant see how I can go around corners without a 90 bend.

Thank you.

Don't just look at the one supplier -

They even do a diverter specifically for a waterbutt

Thank you @Madrab and @CBW .

I was hoping to just have guttering on two sides (to catch the rain water running off each side of the roof), each with their own outlet. A waterbutt would be placed under one gutter, so dowpipe goes straight down on that side - easy. The downpipe for the other gutter would be directed around the back of the shed via 90 deg bends. This is what I have in my head - but I've never done any with guttering before!

I see there are 90 deg bends for 'normal' size downpipes - but not for these minflo sizes.

If I use the 90 deg gutters that you have shown, I guess I will have guttering on 3 sides of the shed, and then have only one outlet. It just seems odd to have guttering on a side of the shed that no water runs off into. It will be an open channel.

Thanks for the tip https://www.guttersupplies.co.uk/mini-gutter-92-5-degree-bend-black-p-RBM1B/

Not 90 deg but close.

I used a similar dummy run of gutter across the end of a leanto- saved me faffing with shallow bends or creating a new downpipe. Stopped noticing it about a month after I put it up ..

Eco feature, mate. Well posh.

to save the shed fantastic idea well worth a gutter and pipes to divert water and stop wrott
if its to save the planet or money forget it will cost you a fortune and take maybe 15-30 years to pay back cost

simple maths 210L barrel £30
https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-water-butt-with-tap-green-210l/p/0507741

round here water about £2.20 a ton/1000L so if you get say 4 full loads a year in 210L tank and you use it all thats £2 worth off water used so 15 years pay back just for the barrel no pipe gutter or fixings included

@big-all This is certainly not to save money (although it would be nice to be able to draw less water from the mains). The plan is to eventually have a solar panel and battery and use this to irrigate the garden from the water butt. I've never done anything like this before. I expect to make many mistakes along the way but hopefully learn a few things too (e.g. like it was all a big mistake in the first place ).

If you have the room, get a 1000l IBC (£30-£40 on Fleabay last time I looked). If you're in an area prone to summer hosepipe bans it'll help a lot.
