Spikes leave a 1/4" hole in the fascia Spikes does not hold well Spikes often crack lumber Spikes are not strong Once spikes are loosened it is difficult to reinstall the spike because the hole in the fascia will be larger than the spike. During installation spike may dent the face of the gutter Eventually the gutter will sag and loosen Hangers do not leave large holes in the fascia Hangers hold very well because screws are used Hangers do not crack lumber Hangers are easy to modify and make adjustments Hangers leave a smooth finish to the gutter face
Helpful hints: Hangers should be about 32" on center (apart). There should be 3 screws in between hangers. 5" gutter should use #8 stainless steel screws. 6" gutter should use #10 stainless steel screws. Make sure your screws are stainless steel because galvanize screws will rust thru your gutter.
