Typically a box gutter is trapped between two roofs that feed rainwater into it. Built in box gutters are meant to be part of the architecture. Built in gutters are part of the classical orders of design. A box gutter is actually built into the bottom of the roof or into the roof overhang.

It may be lined with epdm rubber metal asphalt or roofing felt and may be concealed behind a parapet or the eaves or in a roof valley.

The water is drained via downpipe nozzles or via a sumps downpipes built into it.
