Based on the length of your metal roofing decide how many gutter brackets you need and choose screws that are the correct size for the holes in the gutter brackets. Use the flange to mark the screwhole locations and bore 1 8 in holes through the gutter. Then cut the half round gutter material to the appropriate length. If your roof has a dramatic slope consult a roofing professional.

Without gutters the water will simply run back along the eaves of the house eventually making its way down the wall of the home and damaging the exterior of the house. A gutter cover or gutter heating system might be just what you need for your metal roof. Finally insert the filling into the hole and fasten it with short screws. Some standard gutter systems with attached gutter guards are installed directly onto the roof and roof deck but this method only works for asphalt roofs and other non metal roofing systems.

In general the steeper the pitch the faster the roof will shed water so you could have additional issues to consider when. If you don t want to remember to clean your gutters or you don t find balancing on a ladder to be a safe fun way to spend your weekend you can install a gutter cover. Gutters can be installed on homes with metal roofs as long as the system is attached to the fascia board with brackets or spikes and ferrules. You want the screws to be quite long with deep threads as they will be bearing the weight of the gutter.
