A gutter cover or gutter heating system might be just what you need for your metal roof. 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 this video we demonstrate how to install a gutter for a shed metal roof or house. Use the flange to mark the screwhole locations and bore 1 8 in holes through the gutter.

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. Gutters for metal roofs are exactly the same as any other gutter and they install in the same fashion. If your roof has a dramatic slope consult a roofing professional. You want the screws to be quite long with deep threads as they will be bearing the weight of the gutter.

Finally insert the filling into the hole and fasten it with short screws. Then cut the half round gutter material to the appropriate length. 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.
