Water running off the roof is pooling at the base and flooding the carport during heavy rains... going to add gutters to the front, and I am going to direct the water flow into an underground PVC pipe (probably 4 inch?) that flows into a drainage ditch.
Here is a picture of the house. Section A is 35 feet, and section B is 12 feet. I wanted to put only 1 downspout on it, at the location in the picture. I'm going to dig a trench and bury a pvc pipe that runs out to a drainage ditch.

One question i have is, is it feasible to have one downspout in the middle of a run and slope both ends down towards it? If not, then i suppose i could eliminate section B, as it just drains onto a mulch bed... but i'd really like to get both sections guttered if i can, and i dont really want to use more than one downspout if i can get away with it.
My plan is to use 10 ft sections of aluminum gutters... caulked and riveted together... screw the gutters directly to the fascia to position them, and then screw the hangers into the fascia every 2 feet.
The fascia board is covered with aluminum coil stock (or flashing i guess), and it wraps up over the top of the fascia and slides up under the shingles about 1-2 inches. Here are pictures:

I'm assuming i will still need to install a drip edge (or apron or flashing or whatever it's called) under the shingles that extends into the gutter, correct? Can i just use this stuff and tack it down over the existing fascia flashing, under the shingles?

Really appreciate any input.
