What happens here

To install the 'Gutter', first attach the gutter hanger to the gutter itself. The front of the hanger typically clips onto the front lip of the gutter. Then, position the gutter assembly. The back part of the gutter hanger goes behind the 'Apron' (which is acting as a drip edge in this model) and the top edge of the 'Fascia (Aluminum)' cover. Secure the gutter hanger to the wooden fascia board behind the fascia cover using a screw and a drill.

Goal: Properly attach the gutter for water collection.

Tools and materials

  • Apron — The metal piece at the eave, behind which the gutter hanger is tucked
  • Drill DeWalt — Driving the screw
  • Fascia — The fascia cover, behind which the gutter hanger is tucked
  • Gutter Hanger — Supporting the gutter and attaching it to the fascia
  • Gutter — Collecting and diverting rainwater
  • Screw — Securing the gutter hanger to the fascia board

What they say

Hide

over top of that. When your starter strip gets nailed low here and this tar adheres to the shingles, it holds these together. What helps this from pulling up and off your roof. When you install your gutter, depending on the hanger, you hook it here and then this goes behind the apron. Even without a shingle here, the step flashing still acts as a way for the water to make it to the gutter. Proper shingle overlap allows this water to run down into the gutter and not back against your fascia. Shingle overlap
