Gutter Guard Video
VIDEO SUMMARY
Important Author’s Note Update: Since this column was written, I have discovered at least two other gutter guards that sport the micro-mesh filtration screen. Testing of these Micro-mesh guards began early Spring of 2008. The results of the test are in! After 10-years of testing various types, a winner has been declared! Click for the gutter guard I installed on my house - Gutter Guard Test Results.
Spring time is the time to clean your gutters after a winter of leaves, broken branches, pine needles and those tree helicopters. Besides clogging your gutter, some of these items will clog your gutter guards. Look for gutter guards that are easy to install and easy to remove.
Some gutter guards have solid tops making them hard to work with. Others have small openings with will trap small leaves, twigs and acorns.
The latest plastic gutter guard is flexible so it is easy to remove and reinstall. Gutter guards are also available in aluminum. Be sure to purchase one with the features you require.

I have a one-story home, walkable roof.
I installed the MasterShield product on my roof. In a heavy rain water pours over the gutter from the copper valleys. The system just cannot handle a heavy rain. Am awaiting gutter installation solution (they have been here twice) and perhaps the manufacturer or their rep.

when you tested the micro screen types, did you evaluate minimum assembly
strength.
i.e. I did that with samples of your 3 finalists and gutterglove wsa 3 times stronger than the other two - the test was to place assemblies of each across supports and load them with small sand bags adding one each 24 hours. gutterguard being stronger and with higher grade stainless screen. How did you grade mastershield higher????

Like many others here, I would like to know what the manufacturer of the
black plastic mesh you show at the end of this video is and where I can
purchase it. Did it tend to clog over time? Thank you.
