Covered Gutters Do It Yourself

Surface tension guards work very well with leaves and other large debris.

Covered gutters do it yourself.

I installed 136 feet of this gutter guard on my house. Flexxpoint are considered the best covers for the gutters because of the fine mesh they have. If you buy sheets remember that one sheet will cover approximately 96 linear feet. This mesh blocks the entry of larger particles and debris into the gutter but however the smaller particles can still enter the gutter system.

This gutter cover system comes with stainless steel fastener. Took about 5 hours to remove the foam and install these guards. Each sheet can be cut into 12 4 inch wide strips that are 8 feet long. I had the foam inserts but they allowed debris to collect.

Gutter contractors will gladly put gutter guards on your home for between 15 to 19 per linear foot and pro installation is strongly recommended for anything. So far so good. So if you come up with 375 lineal feet of gutter measuring all the way around your house you will need 2 rolls. Small debris sometimes gets in but usually washes out the downspouts without a problem.

But this tool still provides one of the best blow away protection after the debris has dried out. With surface tension gutter covers water clings to the rounded nose of the guard and flows into the gutter while leaves and other debris fall off over the edge.
