How to capture rainwater run off from balcony

Hi everyone! 

 

I'd like some ideas on how to capture the rainwater running off our balcony. The rainwater currently runs down all three sides, has stained the render and we have had some settling of the house as a result.

 

Do you think there is enough overhang from the balcony tiles to install gutters on all 3 sides? If there isn't enough overhang on all three sides at the tile-level, do you think a possible solution could be to install gutters on the ceiling of the verandah (underneath the balcony)? 

 

We have a stormwater pit close-by (<3m away) so there isn't an issue with diverting the rainwater once it has been captured but we would really value this community's insights on how to capture the stormwater from the balcony in a cost-effective manner, without having to re-do the entire balcony and install a drain in the middle of it. 

 

Thank you! :smile:
