More Information
Summary:A single piece gutter bracket having a gutter support arm is connected to a centrally disposed web with two spaced apart flanges extending substantially perpendicularly from opposing edges of the central web, in the direction opposite the gutter support arm. The distance between the flanges is approximately equal to the thickness of a rafter extension and may be substantially parallel or slightly angled in order to provide a frictional fit on a rafter extension. The flanges are secured directly to the sides of the rafter extension. The central web covers a portion of the end surface of the rafter extension, providing some protection to the rafter extension. The front of the gutter support arm may lie lower than the back of the gutter support arm to inhibit the flow of water, thereby helping to preserve the dwelling's building materials. The gutter bracket need not be installed during construction, beneath the roof shingles or the like, but may be installed after construction is complete. Accordingly, it is easily removed and replaced, without the need to disturb the building's roof supports or other architecture.
