Hidden Hangers Hidden hangers are recommended to homeowners who prefer a seamless and sleek design. These types of gutter hangers are positioned horizontally inside the gutter and screwed into the fascia board. They are very adept at handling large amounts of water.

As a rule of thumb, gutter hangers should be spaced a maximum of three feet away from each other. If you live in a cold climate, your contractor may recommend gutter hanger spacing of two feet apart to account for the additional weight from snow and ice. Does Gutter Material and Size Matter?
