How is the gutter fastened to the fascia board or roof? Can we install the rods or complete hanger units before the gutter?
When using our hidden hanger units, we recommend the rods go over the first exposed row of shingles, and the flattened part of the rods go under the second exposed row of shingles. Installing the rods on the roof beforehand leaves no room for error when fastening the brackets to the gutter. The brackets will have to line up perfectly with the rod already fastened to the roof. It is not necessary to install both hanger units and facia brackets. Gutter installed with hanger units may also have fascia brackets attached for decorative purposes.
