Abstract
An eavestrough system utilizes a two-piece hook wherein a small clip is positioned and secured on a fascia and thereafter assembled eavestroughing and eavestrough hooks are conveniently attached thereto, preferably by means of a sliding snap fit relationship. The eavestrough hooks are slidable on the eavestrough section and can be preassembled on the eavestrough at ground level. This, in combination with the fast engagement with the clips, simplifies installation. The invention is also directed to an improved eavestrough hanger having resilient spring arms.
