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


+1 to either of those.

Or a tie temporarily with a dab of construction adhesive or silicone caulk
behind, remove the tie when it cures.
