Does anyone have any ideas about how to affix a gutter to a metal
pole? The gutter runs from the porch down the supporting pole. Its
just hanging there. When the wind blows, it clanks against the pole.
Im desperate. Gorilla glue?
I assume this is a downspout, not an open gutter?
Use the metal straps sold for affixing the downspout to the structure
and screw them to the pole using #8 self drilling tapping, stainless,
sheetmetal screws.
OR
You could use UV resistant, high quality zip ties / tiewraps.
OR
You could use stainless steel bailing wire wrapped around the downspout
and pole and then twisted behind the pole.
Personally, I would probably give the tiewraps a shot, using a color
that blends in with the downspout. Quick and easy.
I have doubts about the long term use of tie wraps. They would
probably age out rather quickly. The metal downspout straps
are probably the best solution.
