Default Gutter Covers - Think these will work?

Not as of yet and it's been two years they've been on. It could be related
to the angle I have them set, but either way, nothing thus far.

I too have maples and was always concerned that the seeds would just
get caught in the screens and have to be cleaned out anyway. Is this
not the case?

I don't know how well these would work with heavy rains. I have simple
gutters guards I bought at HD about five years ago. One gutter is
underneath a maple tree which dumps lots of seeds and another is
underneath
an oak tree. Only had one clog in 5 years. These guards are just a
screen
pattern of diagonal shaped holes about 3/8 wide.



I second the basic screen type guards which come in a 20 foot roll. I
have
tried a few different types before going to the screen and they are
working
the best. BTW, I also have maple trees. One in the front yard and one in
the
back. Let me add, they are huge and that produces a lot of seeds and
debris.
SO far so good with lack of clutter.
