Choose steel gutter systems over aluminum for better durability and longer life. Steel is thicker and stronger than aluminum and carries a 20- to 25-year corrosion warranty. It’s also less susceptible to dents and creases caused by ladders, and it expands and contracts less than aluminum, so it won’t deform or warp over time.

Install the gutters by securing them to the fascia boards with gutter straps or direct nailing them to the fascia boards if there’s no overhang. Then, fasten the downspout to the gutters using either short sheetmetal screws or pop rivets (poppers work best because they don’t leave sharp piunts inside the gutter). Be sure to use the correct size screws for your gutters, and seal all connection seams with a heavy bead of gutter lap sealer.

If you’re installing a long gutter run, slope it to the downspout outlet location on both ends. To do this, mark the downspout outlet location on the gutter at each end with a pencil. Then, install a downspout outlet fitting. To do this, bore 1/8-in. holes through the gutter flange and the downspout outlet fitting, then snap the gutter flange into place over the outlet fitting, screwing or riveting it to hold it in place. Repeat for the other gutter end.
