I'm doing a porch restoration on a porch with a rounded roof. I need to install gutter on the rounded section,other that cutting std alum gutter into several 5 inch pieces what other ways can this be done.

Make it a box gutter, line with metal or membrane from above. Somewhere there's a thread with pics of something just like that.

besides Chris's way i wouldn't try to do that with anything but copper or wood
thinking about it there is a azek type pvc gutter out there

i wonder if that could be heat formed?

U can order custom bent copper.It's about $150 a ft with out hangers!! We have done a few.

The best way is their is a co out of Texas that makes them ouit of fiberglass from what i understand u would never know the diffrence. I believe they can come in 8 ft sections

I remember a 15-16 years back, there was a gutter firm we used for the same situation - He had a backer for the K section of the gutter - 4 solid steel shaped bearings 2 on either side, the runner - flat steel bearing (same dimension as the runner) and 1 steel bearing on the center of the facial section and he could regulate the arch - it was amazing piece of equipment-Copper ,,,of coarse . Check your local gutter distributors, they may have some attachment as part of their offered services- ask around, you never know, and good luck!

Do it with wood.
Line it with sheet lead.
