Affix gutter to pole
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? -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...e-1157925-.htm |

Another choice might be a hose clamp. |

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. -- "In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place."

They would probably age out rather quickly. The metal downspout straps are probably the best solution. Bill |

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

Clean it well, apply, tape it in place until cured. |
