The slope on the roof I just guttered is very small, and the shingles overhang 1/4" at most. As a result, a lot of water is dripping behind the gutters instead of in the gutters.
I did some research on this and found that for low-sloped gutters, you should install the top of the gutters behind the drip edge. I don't see how this is possible with the hangers I used. I screwed the hangers as high as possible--but that was still just below the drip edge. Are there other hangers that allow you to go higher, so the gutters will be behind the drip edge?
I also learned that another way of dealing with low-sloped roofs is to screw in a narrow piece of flashing behind the drip edge that overlaps into the gutter. Does that sound right?
