How to put gutter on a house metal roofing.

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. Finally insert the filling into the hole and fasten it with short screws. If your roof has a dramatic slope consult a roofing professional.

In this video we demonstrate how to install a gutter for a shed metal roof or house. Gutters for metal roofs are exactly the same as any other gutter and they install in the same fashion. 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. Cut a starter hole in the gutter with a chisel drill or sabre saw and nibble out the finished opening with tin snips.

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. 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. Then cut the half round gutter material to the appropriate length. In general the steeper the pitch the faster the roof will shed water so you could have additional issues to consider when.
