Q: What spacing should I use for gutter hangers?

A: Standard spacing is 24 inches on center for most climates, but heavy weather areas (snow, high rainfall) require 18-inch spacing. Never exceed 36 inches maximum spacing. Always check local building codes and add extra hangers near downspouts and corners.

Q: Why choose screw clip hangers over strap hangers?

A: Screw clip hangers mount directly to the fascia board without roof penetration, eliminating leak risks. They offer quick installation, easy maintenance access, professional appearance, and work with standard fascia boards. Strap hangers are only needed when fascia is inadequate or missing.

Q: What makes galvanized steel construction better?

A: Galvanized steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to plain steel, ensuring long-term durability in all weather conditions. The galvanized coating protects against rust, extends service life, maintains structural integrity, and provides reliable performance for decades.

Q: How does the screw clip mechanism work?

A: The screw clip design allows the hanger to be securely fastened to the fascia board first, then the gutter simply snaps into the clip mechanism. This provides quick installation, secure attachment, easy removal for maintenance, and reliable long-term support without additional hardware.

Q: How many hangers do I need for my project?

A: For 24" spacing, divide total linear feet by 2. For 18" spacing, divide by 1.5. Add 10-15% for corners and extras. A typical single-story home needs 40-60 hangers. The 500-piece box covers approximately 10-12 average homes.
