joining plastic gutter to metal
Joined to neighbour on one side. I will be changing my gutter to new
plastic soon, and hers is an old metal version, which appears to be jointed with an overlapping section that is bolted to both halves. The new plastic and old metal seem to be a pretty similar profile. What is the best way to join these 2 gutters together ? Cheers, Simon. |

Drill and bolt, using plenty of black silicone inbetween. -- Phil L RSRL Tipster Of The Year 2008 |

Drill and bolt, using plenty of black silicone inbetween. you can get adapters to join different shapes. Example of ogee to it to half round plastic https://supreme1.sslpowered.com/cgi-...txt&item=00011 I only ever used one once, and that only stayed up for a few years until the cast iron was replaced so I've no idea if it is better or worse than Phil's approach. -- R |
