STEP 1: Choose your gutter and roof configuration Select the diagram below that best resembles your gutter and roof scenario. This will determine whether you slide the gutter guard under the roof shingles, or bend the back of the mesh up or down and fasten to the back of the gutter or fascia. Once you’ve selected a diagram, continue to Step 2. The diagrams all refer to a roof shingle and gutter, they imply ALL shingle and gutter types.

STEP 2: The basics in every installation Clean out your gutters: Take the time to clean the leaves, pine needles and other debris from your gutters and downspouts first. Go to ConsumerReports.org and read the article “10 Questions For Robert Lenney, Gutter Expert” on how to clean your gutters out properly and safely.

Step 2.1 Step 2.2 Clean: Wipe off top of gutter so it’s very clean by using a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water. Wipe off all residues. Straight Sections: Peel off a few inches of the red strip. Slide section under roof shingle. Pull red strip off. Push down firmly by sliding finger along top. Step 2.3 Joining sections A B Mesh extends slightly past the ends of each section. Line the ends up and the mesh will overlap each other. Just set the mesh ends on top of each other (A).

Step 2.4 Cover end of gutter C D Cut the front and rear aluminum extrusions back with any brand of tin snips so the mesh is free to tuck inside the gutter and cover the opening. SPECIAL NOTE: The rear aluminum extrusion (C) is shorter in length than the front extrusion (D). This is so the extrusions don’t lay on top of each other in the back, causing the shingles to lift. Slide excess mesh down and inside gutter. This caps off the end to keep debris, birds, rodents and insects out. Step 2.

Step 2.6 Outside corner of gutter Push rear aluminum strip down in gutter. Mark adjacent section and trim off. Step 2.7 Cutting sections F The aluminum extrusions can be tough to cut, so it’s ok to notch them (F), then you can snap them in two with your hands. The tin snips will cut through the mesh easily. Removing gutter guard “Check out the How-to-Install tab at my website for more gutter and roof install techniques like shown below.

STEP 3: Two very important installation rules Follow these two rules so rainwater flows smoothly into your gutter and not over the front edge of your gutter. RULE #1 Remove gap: Make sure the front lip of the gutter guard is flat against the front lip of your gutter to remove any gap.

How to bend the mesh Bending the back of the mesh allows the gutter guard to be installed on all gutter and roof configurations. All you need are two 1” x 2” boards 4.5’ long and a couple 4” clamps. When choosing a board, get a board that has square edges instead of rounded edges. A square edged board will put straight creases in the mesh when you bend it. Bend the mesh up or down depending on your application. Tech Support (866)892-8442 Info@GutterGuard.

How to take care of your new gutter guard By Robert Lenney Before I share some tips on how to get decades of high quality performance out of my gutter guard, I want to dispel a huge myth. MYTH: Gutter guards are maintenance-free and self-cleaning. FACT: All gutter guards require some form of maintenance. I’ve seen a couple manufacturers over the years promote their gutter guards as maintenance-free or self-cleaning, DON’T BELIEVE IT.
