How To Transport 10 Foot Gutters

And a level gutter is the obvious answer when there s a downspout at both ends such as on our hip roof.

How to transport 10 foot gutters.

Just about every home improvement job involves hauling 10 ft. Gutters are often installed level for appearance. Pvc or vinyl gutters are designed to snap together easily but may require the use of gaskets or a sealant to ensure a waterproof connection. To prevent this the pitch or slope of any rain gutter needs to be a quarter of an inch on average for every 10 feet.

In both cases it makes your rain gutters useless. Lengths of some type of flimsy material. Was skeptical about putting the lumber on just the bed so i used the ladder and it worked great. Standard gutters come in 10 foot sections so you ll need to connect sections of gutter to span longer areas.

If you do decide to just lay it in the truck bed and have it stick out 10 feet i would highly recommend putting some 2x12 s under it to give it strength as it will bow and scrape the ground. With help lift the gutter in place and secure the corner first screwing the bracket into the roof s fascia. Secure the rest of the hangers with 2 in galvanized nails or screws. While it makese sense to slightly slope the gutter toward the downspout about 1 4 in.

You could try stacking it on side like mentioned but that would be tough keeping it upright unless its really tight. I created this video to show how you can transport home a bulking long item on top of your car. But if there is too much slope the water collected will just flow out of the edges of your rain gutter. So while you re at the store buy a roll of stretch cling film.
