Should Gutters Be Angled

A good rule of thumb for a gutter slope is that you want at least a quarter inch of slope for every 10 feet of gutters. … All the guttering must also slope toward the nearest downspout. Homes with downspouts at both ends have a slope from the middle of the roofline that goes in different directions.

Can you put gutters on a slanted fascia?

Gutter On Angled Fascia Boards Gutters installed on an angled Fascia board should be installed as level as possible. This is done with the use of gutter wedges (sometimes called “gutter shims”). They are attached to the back of the gutter and are cut to the degree of the roof slope.

What do you cut gutters with?

Cut gutter section to length with hacksaw and aviation snips, or with a 12-inch power miter saw fitted with a carbide-tipped finish blade (as shown). If the gutter continues around a corner, cut the appropriate angle (typically 45 degrees) on that end.
