I wonder if they come in different thickness sizes?
-
@EEPInstructional I really like this one,,it looks neater, sturdier, and pretier than the metal thing.
-
@qasion Yes, this gutter system has inside and outside corners available.
-
@EEPInstructional Does this system have the inside/outside corners like the metal one?
-
@EEPInstructional I wonder what kind of screws do you use for the vinyl?

@8dakota6 "as a FORMER roofing sub-contractor," this quote has been presented with enhanced adjectives for the mentally handicapped trolls.

@maxdecphoenix You're a roofer and you are referring to others as idiots????LOL

as a former roofing sub-contractor, for any DIYers I want to say empty the gutters first. either use a leaf blower or buy some of those cheapo cloth gloves that are like 50 pair for $10 and clear by hand. also, take the gutter down in sections, don't just let it flop over and drop like these idiots did. either work in pairs or support unsecured end with a ladder. an extra minute will save you from taking a shot to the face, knocked off a ladder, having fascia get torn off etc etc.

I'd assume contractors prefer aluminum because they can fabricate the runs onsite whereas plastic does not allow that to be done. But plastic I think is stronger long term PLUS you can put a ladder against it without damaging the system.

the installers are installing the system wrong, whereas the drill is in reverse while putting in the screws..
every contractor I talk to says vinyl gutters suck

Most contractors will prefer metal gutter, that is true. However, vinyl gutters are a good alternative for a lower cost, DIY project. Properly installed, vinyl gutters will perform well, and last a long time. Being a simple system to install with no special tools required makes it quite DIY friendly. This is an alternative to people who don't want to hire a contractor to do the job.

Here in florida, the fascia boards are sloped much more than in the video. Spacers?

Good question. For sloped fascia boards, we recommend the use of a Fascia Fixer. This is an adjustable adapter that mounts between the back of the hook and the fascia board. The angle of this Fixer can be adjusted to bring the gutter to a level position. Some stores will stock the Fascia Fixer (T0539 white, T1539 brown), if not, contact our Customer Service at 800-461-5706.
