Rain Gutters & Downspouts

[Dalana]

We’re getting ready to install gutters/downspouts. Are there any websites with instructions that may be helpful? Or maybe even your own experiences would be appreciated. Thank you.

A couple of websites that “may” have info are:

http://www.homedoctor.com
http://www.doityourself.com

You might also look to see if the manufacturer has
a website which might provide info. Also most major
home centers (home depot, builder square, etc.) should
have books which you could buy relatively cheap.

In the event you are still interested in gutter information, look at http://www.wolverinewlastics.com for gutter hanger info on our Skyhook hangers.
You can search for rain gutters with your browser and get a list of over 4,000 sites. As with most things, self proclaimed experts in rain gutters state spike & ferrule hangers are best, others will state that hidden hangers are best. Than there are metal hangers and polycarbonate hangers of various dimensions and strengths, using either or both spikes and screws.
Good installations are with the nails or screws fasteners driven into the rafter end rather than into the facia alone.
Hidden hangers do not show nail or screw heads and do not require painting to match the gutter color. Some installers use nails with colored nail / screw heads, which increases the job cost.
I trust your search was successful.

Where can we purchase Down spout rings or wires?

We would like to eliminate our down spouts and install a ring or wire.
