Installation Suggestions

Homeowners

My rafter tails are square cut, and the budget on my project is very tight. Which bracket should I select.

Homeowner's FAQ

BUILDERS & INSTALLERS

Our UNI-BRACKET. The lead time for these type UNI-BRACKETS just takes longer

Does it matter that my rafters (or beams) are wider than the normal 1 1/2" construction ?

Preservation Groups & Neighborhood Assoc.'s

No, not at all. You can specify our UNI-BRACKETS. or we can custom fabricate something for you

Can I custom design my own UNI-BRACKET ?

Developers

Yes. We would consider that a "custom" bracket fabrication, which means the lead time and cost would increase.

What size gutter should I specify ?

Bracket Categories & Ordering

There are many web sites and books on this subject. Most of our sales are for 6" gutters, and a few for 5".

Order Forms

Is the amount of rainfall the only determining factor in sizing a gutter ?

No. in our opinion, a 5" gutter, even on a small. 1000 s.f. building looks too small in proportion, and almost not visible form a distance. A 6" gutter just has a nice scale, and adds a bit of a horizontal element.

Do you make gutter brackets for post & beam rafter tail homes ?

Yes. If you go to our "custom bracket" photos, you will see a few, including a red 9.4 pound timber bracket made of 1/4" and 3/8" solid steel for a 5 1/2" wide timber.

What others are saying

Can I design my own bracket ?

Just Imagine

Absolutely ! Just e-mail us and we'll send you some cadd files for reference. Please just remember that depending on your design, the cost may easily exceed your budget

About us

How can I prevent the brackets from being "value engineered" out of the project ?

If you are using our UNI-BRACKETS which cost the least, then there is little that can be done. We do suggest that if you are specifying a "custom" bracket, then include in your specifications the UNI-BRACKET as a "bid alternate".

News & Events

How do you brackets compare to other ways of attaching guttering ?

Q10

They don't. Our brackets are significantly more aesthetically pleasing, exhibit the nature of the attachment functionally, and superior in strength. We do not consider our brackets as just another way of securing guttering, but rather fine hardware.

A10

			Doesn't cost less to just build a Fascia Board around the entire house, and use the fascia mount brackets that are sold by others ?
	Q11

	A11
			No, not when you compare the cost of using the proper exterior grade wood for the fascia board and the proper priming and two coats of paint. ( see " JUST IMAGINE" page)
