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.

The screens are next-to useless if pine trees or others with needles or
smaller droppings are an issue.
