Troubleshooting
Gutter appears to be sagging between brackets.
Check that the brackets are installed at the correct intervals as per the Polyflow system guidelines. Ensure all brackets are securely fastened to the fascia board.
Bracket is difficult to secure to the fascia.
Verify the bracket is correctly aligned and that the fascia board is suitable for fixing. Ensure the correct type and length of fixings are being used.
