Gutter Size

Get the Correct Blackhawk Size for your Gutter

Blackhawk Gutter Defense is for K-style gutters only (pictured here). This style of gutter accounts for the vast majority of gutter found on low to upper-middle priced, as well as most high end priced homes. If your gutters are half-round or some other type, we do not make a product for them.

Specify 5” wide or 6” wide (at the gutter top). Most homes have the 5" wide. If you are adding or replacing gutters on your home and have a very high pitched roof, we recommend the 6" gutters. Otherwise the 5" are adequate.

The Blackhawk lip always goes over the inside front lip of the gutters. If your gutters have been properly installed, they will have a down hill slope toward the downspouts. If they do not, we strongly recommend removing and resetting them before installing our product.
