Wondering what the "state of the art" is in rain gutter covers. A couple
years ago, we had the roof shingles installed, but the roofing guys could
not recommend a good gutter covers.

Originally, the gutters were covered with a nylon mash type cover, but it
was flimsy and buckled up in many places. I installed a white, flat

plastic

covers from Home Depot. It looked like they should keep the leaves and
maple seeds out - but it did not work too good. Fair amount of water

makes

it past it. How - don't know.

What should I try next ??? :-) Don't enjoy climbing anymore.

Take the gutter off. Install another fascia attached to the first
with spring-loaded hinges. When you need to clean the gutters,
reach up with a gaff, and pull down on the gutter until it flips
upside down.

Have you ever seen gutters filled with ice? The weight of the ice made them
almost tip on their own without hinges. Your way, while creative, would be
nothing but trouble.
