Now I need to put on eavestrough. Has anyone used the vinyl stuff from lowes? I only have 2 25 foot runs to do. I am guestimating $200 in parts and hope it is ok. The reviews for the product aren't great though, say it sags and temperature variation causes warping? Not sure if it is real or just disgruntled people? What are your thoughts? thanks

I'm in upstate NY where it most definitely freezes. I installed aluminum gutters and downspouts that I found on CL. Never a problem even if cogged with debris when I can't get there to clean them. I have two 20' runs. I allowed for a good 6" eaves drop over that length.
