Remove Sharp Edges from Downspout — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove sharp edges from a downspout?
The easiest way is to cap the cut end with a GutterGate. It covers the raw edge with a smooth, rounded finish — just slide it on and secure with a screwdriver or drill.
Will the cap fit my downspout?
GutterGate comes in 2x3 and 3x4 square (Type A), 2x3 and 3x4 rectangular (Type B), and 4" Round sizes. Use a credit card to gauge: card bigger than the opening = 2x3, card smaller = 3x4.
Does covering the edge affect drainage?
No. GutterGate is designed to preserve full water flow while covering the sharp edge, so your downspout drains exactly as it did before.
