We often get asked how many brackets will be needed per length of metal guttering. The answer depends on the metal guttering range that you have bought.
Galvanised Steel /Copper/ Zinc /Stainless Steel guttering ranges
- Position Fascia Brackets at 915mm centres, using at least 3 brackets per gutter length.
- Allow one more bracket per angle or outlet.
- Downpipe clips are 2 per 3metre length – then add one additional one to the total for each drop.
Contemporary pressed or extruded Aluminium guttering ranges
SnapIT Half Round Moulded & SnapIt Express:
- Position Fascia Brackets at 750mm centres, using at least 4 brackets per gutter length.
- Allow one more bracket per angle or outlet.
- Downpipe clips are 2 per 3metre length – then add one additional one to the total for each drop, to secure the final 1.5mtres.
Everything else:
- Position Fascia Brackets at 915mm centres, using at least 3 brackets per gutter length.
- Allow one more bracket per angle or outlet.

Cast Aluminium guttering ranges
- Use at least 2 brackets per 1.83m gutter length.
