You can find these precut gutter splash guards about 3 in brown and white aluminum at a home center but you could easily make your own out of aluminum or sheet metal and spray paint them to match your gutters.

Even though they look level from a distance gutters should be pitched slightly from one end to the other. Drill rivet holes for the gutter splash guard.

Soffit linings typically consisted of 5 mm or 6 mm asbestos cement sheets and a 100 x 25 mm grooved fascia board provided support for the soffit lining and gutter. They note that when this occurs shingle granules on a conventional asphalt shingle roof will erode along the water path. On some roofs they detail the gable ends with shingles so you won t install gutters under this feature.
