Glennville & Reidsville Gutters Sized for Big Roof Planes
Gutter Solutions LLC forms seamless gutters on site for farmhouses, shops, packing sheds and in-town homes in Glennville, Reidsville, Collins, Cobbtown and Manassas, choosing each trough width from the roof it has to drain.
House, shop or packing shed: we measure the roof before we name a size.
What we gutter here
Four kinds of Tattnall building, four different jobs
Tattnall grows more than half of each year’s Vidalia onion crop and raises upward of 41 million broilers a year, and its buildings show it. Each type below sheds water its own way.
Farmhouses
Porch roofs below the main roof
Many farmhouses carry a porch roof along one or more sides. Rain off the main roof lands on the porch roof and reaches the porch gutter on top of the porch’s own runoff, which is where a 7-inch K-style or an extra outlet earns its place.
Shops & barns
One broad plane, one long eave
An equipment shed or metal shop is often a single wide roof plane with nothing to slow the water. Metal sheds rain faster than shingles, so these eaves take a 7-inch box or D profile with big downspouts at both ends.
Packing & farm buildings
Planned from the ground up
On packing sheds and working barns the gutter plan starts at grade: where trucks turn, where forklifts run and where water can go without cutting ruts. Downspouts land where equipment will not find them.
In-town homes
Older houses in Glennville and Reidsville
Glennville’s median home dates from 1984 and nearly three in ten predate 1960; Reidsville’s median is 1982. On houses this age, worn sectional gutters and undersized troughs are worth replacing with seamless runs.
Profiles for big roofs
Which profile fits a big Tattnall roof
Width is only part of it. The shape of the trough and the downspouts behind it decide how much water a run can move. These are the four profiles we form for large roofs.

Every profile is formed on site from coil, and the right one is chosen at the estimate from the roof area each run drains. The reasoning is laid out in what size gutters you need.
Sized by roof areaNot by the length of the wall
Shops, barns and packing sheds
A big roof plane needs a wider trough and more outlets
A plain gable shop roof sends a whole side’s rain into one eave with nothing to break it up, and a 5-inch residential gutter cannot keep pace. We size those runs from the roof area, not the length of the wall: a 7-inch box or D profile, downspouts big enough for the volume, and an outlet at each end so no single corner takes it all.
Discharge gets the same thought. Water is turned away from slabs, drives and doorways and sent where the ground can take it, which on Tattnall land depends on the soil underneath.
Sandy ridges and river flats drain very differently
USDA soil maps split Tattnall nearly in half: about 46 percent is well or excessively drained sandy upland, and about 45 percent is poorly or somewhat poorly drained. Where a downspout can send its water depends on which you are standing on.
Tifton, Fuquay & Kershaw soils
Sandy uplands
Water dumped at a corner digs into loose sand and carries it away from the slab or the piers.
What we do
This ground drains well, so a buried downspout line to a lower daylight outlet or pop-up emitter works here.
Osier soils, Ohoopee & Altamaha
River flats and bottoms
Poorly drained sandy alluvium that floods often. A buried pipe here sits in water for much of the wet season.
What we do
Keep the water on the surface: extensions and splash blocks turned toward ground that falls away, with nothing buried to silt up.
Pond-side lots
Low roads and pond banks
Debby’s 7 to 11 inches in August 2024 collapsed road sections by Hodges Pond and Big Club House Pond. Concentrated roof water cuts into a yard the same way, on a smaller scale.
What we do
Spread the discharge over more outlets and aim each one at grass or gravel, never at a single low spot or a pond bank.
Tattnall County at a glance
Glennville is the biggest town, Reidsville the seat
Tattnall covers about 481 square miles of the Lower Coastal Plain. The Altamaha forms its southern border, the Ohoopee drains most of the west before meeting the Altamaha at Big Hammock, 13 miles south of Reidsville, and the Canoochee drains the northeast.
Tattnall CountyCounties we serveNeighboring counties
Known for pecans and the Sweet Onion Festival, first held in 1977, with the 1926 Glennwanis Hotel downtown. Beards Creek and the Long County line lie less than two miles east, and we work both sides.
Reidsville
County seat
The 1902 courthouse and the 1890s Alexander Hotel, now the welcome center, anchor downtown. Reidsville logged 6.93 inches during Debby in August 2024, rain that exposes any outlet too small for its roof.
Collins
North
Began as a depot on the Savannah and Montgomery Railroad, north of Reidsville. Irma put a tree on a house here in 2017, so after a storm, check the eaves under big trees for bends and pulled hangers.
Cobbtown & Manassas
North end
Cobbtown, once called Quince, sits near the county’s northern tip; Manassas, home to 59 people in 2020, was named for turpentine maker Washington Manassas Foy. Idalia’s heavy rain closed roads across this northern half in 2023.

Pecans and storms
Pecan country is hard on a gutter
If a pecan shades your roof, you know the routine: leaves, catkins and husks in the trough, and brittle limbs when the wind gets up. Micro-mesh guards keep the litter out, and hidden hangers screwed into sound fascia hold a run far more firmly than old spike-and-ferrule fastening.
Helene’s worst orchard damage in September 2024 lay south and southwest of Reidsville, and yard trees came down with the orchard ones. After a blow like that, walk the eaves under your biggest trees and look for runs knocked out of pitch before the next heavy rain.
Yes. Metal roofs shed water fast, so shop and barn eaves often need a 7-inch box or D profile and more downspout capacity than a house. We measure the roof plane, look at how the eave is built, and put the profile, outlet positions and discharge points in writing.
The same Rhino micro-mesh handles both. Pecans just leave more bulk on top of it: broad leaves, catkins and husks instead of fine needles. Much of it dries and blows off; what stays may need an occasional brush-off, and the downspouts still deserve a seasonal look.
Usually. If the fascia behind it is sound and the rest of the system is in good shape, we replace the bent runs and rehang anything that pulled loose. If the impact cracked the fascia or twisted a long run out of pitch, we show you what else needs doing before we quote.
Before August. At the Glennville NOAA station, August is by far the wettest month, averaging 7.48 inches against 3.33 in September, so clear the troughs and outlets by early summer. Under pecans or hardwoods, plan a second cleanout once the leaves are down in the fall.
