Aluminum evestrough
The other thing you see done is to cut a PVC pipe in half (lengthwise).
10 ft of that becomes 20 ft of trough
But as with all options - secure mounting is the key

Only on for 6 months, so no way to know about ultimate lifetime of the plastic versus the tropical sun. Being near the ocean, even aluminum corrodes.
Plastic takes about 200 yrs to deteriorate....they say
The brackets will go before the trough - most likely

The system I used has the same plastic in the channels, brackets and connectors.
100 years works for me...:squareeye

I have seen those used in the states and webster is right - the brackets do get brittle after a few years of hot sun and if the plastic gutters backup with much water the weight tends to snap the brackets - then the gutter sags.
Not as many large leaves falling on roofs here as in areas with deciduous trees, so they might work well.
