Installing Seamless Gutter
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We just made seamless gutter the entire length of the warehouse.
First the guys loaded a roll of black aluminum into the gutter machine, and just like magic gutter came out of the other end.
After they rolled out 3 to 4 feet, they installed an end cap that got crimped in place and then caulked.
Next they used an outlet punch to make a hole for the downspout.
Then they installed a rectangular outlet- this got a layer of caulk around the bottom.
Once they got it in place, they put another layer of caulk all over the top- this way there’s no leaks.
At this point, they just kept running out the gutter- We needed a piece 86 feet long.
Once it was the right length, they used the machine to cut it off.
Next they clipped in a gutter hanger every two foot on center.
These hangers use a screw rather than the old-fashioned nails.
These guys definitely have their system down, they installed an 86-foot piece with just two people.
They snapped lines on the fascia as a guide so the gutter would have a ¼” of fall over 8 feet, this way the water runs to the outlets.
Finally, they installed the downspouts- now we’re ready for rain.
I love the way this black gutter looks.
Let me know in the comments, what do you think is the longest piece of gutter these guys have made? @hausplans

That’s a fairly cheap installation and will probably last between 15-25 years with some maintenance needed. If they had soldered zinc together, it could last around 80-100 years.

The second layer of silicone caulking on top acts as a dam, raises the water level and holds a small amount of water along the gutter. There exists a a butane rubber gasket that does a much better job, but not many use it.

Ай бұрын
We have coils that are a little over 700ft we keep in stock for our gutter crews we have ran seamless gutters 300+ft we call money makers because the crews get some pretty good bonuses on those longer runs and it usually takes the same time as a regular gutter
My Installers can install 60' runs by themselves, we only using 032 gauge
I'm used to modular plastic gutters that connect up to form any required length with moulded in spouts for modular or chain down links . Placement of brackets is critical to direct the flow .
As a man who has spent the last eight years working with seamless spouting, we have only ran pieces that big a handful of times. It gets sketchy if there's a slight breeze, but two guys can hang a long piece pretty easily

The longest I've run and installed were two runs somewhere around 130' each. We installed 7" gutter, which comes at a slightly thicker gauge than 6" gutter. There were three of us on that job due to the length. We didn't have to pitch the gutter that much since we installed four 4"x5" two-story downspouts on each run. Florida and those torrential rains... I loved those types of jobs! We got paid by the foot and straight runs go up fast!

We had 4 guys do 80 feet of seamless gutters at the shop today, they had 2 scissor lifts, and availability to use any of the 15 drill drivers at the shop to make install more efficient. They forgot the end caps and left at 11:30am to go to the bar. Pretty impressive work.

People don't really realize how important gutters are - until they have interior leaks. There is such a huge difference between 4" and 6" gutters. I replaced my 4" gutters with 6" gutters and my home sounds entirely different now when it rains and the rain runoff is actually controlled.

It seems you should have it level with a bunch of down spouts . One down spout at that length of gutter you will have inches of water constantly on the far end from the downspout.
