    I am a retired Sheetmetal guy. I was getting ready to slam this guy , however he surprised me. He did a good job. Please don’t use those awful gutter connectors that the big box stores sell, do exactly what this guy did and lap the joints together. Don’t use the 1st downspout he showed you use the 2nd way he showed you. Great video for a dyi he did a good job.

      2 feet may be the recommendation, but this kind of screw-based support should be screwed into something solid, like the end of a rafter, so they also should be aligned to whatever you plan to screw into.

    The only item that he didn't mention is that when assembling your downspout run. Make sure to put each place INTO the next piece working from the gutter to the ground. This allows for water to flow without any restriction or possibility of escaping at the join between each elbow / extension. As a professional contractor, I approve of this video!

    Thanks for an extremely useful video. I have seen a lot of home improvement videos (a lot) and this one checks all the boxes--clean audio, listenable presenter, tight editing, no wasted time, and unique tips: I much prefer this joining technique to a slip seam. Also, useful to see rivets and self-tapping screws compared side-by-side. I will start sending other DIY TH-camrs to this video as an example. (Maybe not, but conceptually.)

    I have watched several how to install gutter videos this morning and yours is by far the best. Using a cut off wheel sure beats a hack saw or Sawzall like I see on other videos. And overlapping at the splices seems much stronger than the little splice joints. Thanks for a great video!

    @mtthielsen8342 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    BTW, If my memory is correct from a project years back, you can hide that ugly cut edge on the overlap by sliding the cut edge inside the other section. You just have to be aware of getting the overlap with the direction of water flow. But this is a great tip for those who have not tried this, gutter is much more stable without the crappy factory connector. Save money on connectors and do it the way he shows.
