Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Pick the longer 13-1/2 in. diverter for entry doors where splash-back is the issue and the 9-1/2 in. piece for windows. Fasten it over the shingle course with the crimp angled outward and seal the top fasteners so water runs over, not under, the flange. On heavy-roof-run elevations consider pairing a diverter with a gutter above the entry.
Use a stable ladder and follow safe ladder practices when installing diverters above first-story openings.
Order the Able Sheet Metal 26 gauge galvanized rain diverter to keep runoff off your doors and windows.
