Gutters can be installed on a Solara cover by “pushing” the outside rafter to the edge of the louvers. A standard gutter and downspout may then be attached to that Solara rafter to catch the rain runoff. This option may require the purchase of an additional Solar rafter.
Standard kits come with roll formed louvers. Extruded louvers may be purchased as an upgrade. Extruded louvers may be required for high snow load areas or where hail damage may occur.
