Does anyone know if there is a bracket, strap or any product out there to accomodate the hanging of a gutter on a fascia that is not vertical. I never cut the rafter tails vertical when I built my shed, so the fascia is off 90 by the roof pitch. Appreciate any info.

 

Angled fascia adapters are available.

Assuming you are hanging gutters, and not a rainhandler system, as is pictured above, you might need a gutter hanger w/roof strap, such as the ones below:





If nailing to the roof is not an option, I've seen guys custom make a U shaped shim out of light gauge steel/ heavy gauge aluminum, like the ones pictured below. They screw these to the fascia first, making a plumb surface for the gutter to lay against. It's very similar to the angled fascia adapter pictured in twelvepole's reply, but big enough for a 5" gutter to sit against.

If you wanted to buy them, they're often called gutter wedges.

The wedge/shim looks exactly like what I need. Thanks very much. One more question, guys, for a 22 foot gutter run for a small roof (8 x 22), can I attach on 32" centers? Thanks again for your help.

 

That would probably be okay for such a short roof. Aren't your rafters 24" OC, though?

 

I did 16" OC because I have a storage system attached to the rafters.

 

Is the fascia 1x or 2x?

 

1x. Does it make a difference? I would drive fasteners into either rafters or joists.

 

I was just thinking that if you had 2x fascia, as is common on a lot of new construction nowadays (since it usually gets clad w/aluminum) that your gutter screws would have more meat to bite into, wherever they may be. Since the fascia is 1x, youre right- you'll want to be careful to place the fasteners through the fascia and directly into the rafter tails for better holding power. If you do, that should be fine.

 

Thanks. Never knew what they were called, added to notes.
