I am considering replacing my present gutters with Gutter Guard.
Are they really worth the HIGH cost?

The information I have heard that appears to be the best is that
it depends. The different systems work for different situations.
Oak leaves will clog one type and pine needles will clog the one
that works with oak leaves, etc.

They should have ratings, like G, GP, R, and X. But O and P,
instead.

Most have a problem when it comes time to clean them, and
they all will need cleaning at some time.

Does anyone know anything about Harbor Freight's gutter guards? I was
at the store and wanted to see how long one was.

Oh, the catalog didn't give the length, and I meant to check the
webpage. 20 foot pieces for 4 dollars, on sale at the moment for 2
dolars. I guess that's less than 8 dollars for my whole house. Now I
know they can't be very good, but I'm still tempted.

"Rhombic mesh" sounds phoney, but actually makes sense, a rhombus
being a parallogram with 4 equal sides, a diamond iow.


Actually, the trees here are getting taller and nearer, but whenever
I've looked up to 18 months ago, I had no leaves in my gutters. Yet
now one seems to be clogged, and is overflowing in the middle.

Could it be that the new shingles put on 18 months ago shed so many
stones that it clogged a gutter?

Take a look at the down spouts. You may find parts of shingles and
other waste construction parts blocking the flow.
