Gutters to Downspout

February 13, 2010 on 4:02 am | By admin | In Home | Comments Off

To collect water streaming off the roof, vinyl rain gutters need to be placed so that the roof’s edge is over the middle of the gutter. The gutter is also slanted towards the downspout so the water can be directed away from the house. The downspout should point to a sloped area like a driveway to help drain the water away. The gutters come in 10 foot sections so you will want to accurately measure the roof to know how many pieces to order. Mounting brackets or hangers need to be installed every 24 inches, and here again accurate measurement will help you determine how many to order.
