How far apart to install gutter hangers.

If you live in a warm place with sporadic rain you can hang gutter hangers close to the middle of the gutter with a spacing of no more than 36 inches or three feet apart from the center. For climates where ice is a regular factor you should have gutter hangers installed closer at half the distance that we said earlier for warm weather in order to be able to support the bigger weights. For rainy climates where gutters will handle a larger amount of water for long periods they should have a maximum distance of 18 inches apart between them. Gutter hangers should always be placed at least every three feet for proper support 2 feet in northern climates where snow and ice can add additional weight on the gutters.

Without the correct support the rain gutters will sag. For colder climates or climates that have more snow and ice you should space them so they are able to carry the extra weight for longer periods throughout the season. For warmer climates you can hang gutter hangers as close to the center of the gutter at a spacing of no more than 36 inches or three feet apart from the center.
