Cutting Hole In Gutter For Downspout

Here is what worked for me.
Cutting hole in gutter for downspout. Keep your thick work gloves on. Make sure the patch is large enough to overlap the hole by at least 1 in 2 5 cm on all sides. Repeat the drill and rivet on the other side of the downspout to connect it to the main gutter. Step 2 drill four holes in each corner of the outline you made of the sleeve drill one hole.
When it comes to getting a hole in the bottom of a gutter for a downspout i m sure the pros have some quick way to punch out the perfect hole in a few seconds but for us home owners we are stuck doing it by hand. On the bottom of the gutter itself take a pencil or marker and trace the outline of a sleeve. This is the thing that connects the gutter and downspout together so it is important that it is placed correctly and securely. Press the head of the rivet into the drill hole and squeeze the handle of your rivet gun to lock the rivet into place.
