Gutter clamps

[Rob-o]

Evening all, does anyone know of a uk supplier of something like these?



Thanks, rob

I've made up some stainless steel and ally ones. Expensive (about £80 each at least) to make but broader/lower.

Of any interest?

Possibly, although it would be a shame to cut them up to lower them, they look brand new! I’ll have a think, thanks!

Used all of about 4 times but soon to be replaced

Any tips or sketches for making your own?

These are the ones I made. They only have a simple device to put on the tension and are not as elegant as some but are cheap and easy to make.

The spacing blocks hold the top out and the lower bolt puts on the tension. The long feet are to spread the load and they sit in the gutter rather than perched on the edge.

You don't need massive amounts of tension as the gutter is full of panel bond so its not completely solid. Also there is a plastic trim on the gutter.

They have to be at an angle to clear the door seals.

All of the stainless was from eBay. The outer brackets are cut out of box section as I haven't got a metal folder.

I need to fit the last 2 brackets in between the rear two, the front legs just have long feet as a bracket would interfere with the door.

Thanks for your time Richard.
