LBG Products Gutter Guards Kit – 48 FT (35 Pack), Works for 4" 5" 6" Gutter Sizes Gutter System, Universal Stainless Steel Mesh Gutter Guard Gutter Covers with Screws Included,Easy Installation,Grey

Well I installed the gutter guards. They look great and they were easy to install,but I might as well just took the gutters off of the house. The water just runs straight over the top of them now. The holes in the gutter guards are so small the water cannot go into the gutters anymore.

The media could not be loaded. Just received these and unboxed one set to discover one box will actually cover approximately 50ft. There are 35 sheets to a box with each sheet at 17.25”x6”. Be careful handling these as the edges can be very sharp and have shards sticking out (see pic) As per another customer’s helpful post, make a slight indentation, preferably 2.5” from an edge before installing so that rain is channeled into the gutter and does not run off the side. I used a long 18x1/4” scrap piece of square metal bar to lightly bend around. Also, using a sheet metal bender, make a .25” slight lip at the same edge you measured from to make the suggested indentation earlier. This is the edge that will sit flat on the edge of the gutter. The instructions do not call for the sheet metal bender or indentation but these extra steps will make a difference. See my pic of the modified gutter screen before installation. I also added a video showing a water test and how effective the indentation is. You also get plenty of self-tapping screws but you only need them at the corners to join each screen.4/16 UpdateWith the other side of the house now finished, another tip is to properly measure the inside width of your gutters. If it is close to the width of the screen, you will have minimal area to screw down (approximately two rows of holes) on top of the gutter edge (see pic). The other side of the screen needs to be under the shingle. The directions speak to different mount methods; pick one for the side of the house you are working on and stick with it until you reach the end. I also found that a paint or joint compound spatula worked better than a crowbar, as indicated in the instructions. The spatula is good for lifting the edge of the shingle if it is cemented really good.8/2024 UpdateTropical Storm Debbie just went through and these performed remarkably well. Please take note of the necessary modification mentioned above to avoid total runoff of water over the edge.

Installation was a breeze. Great product. My only gripe was the very first rain was almost like having no gutters at all. I think all of the rain was bypassing the gutters and dripping over the edge. So determined to make it work I uninstalled all of them and pressed a groove in them to give the water a low place to drip from. See the 2 pics I’m sharing. Since then no problem with rain. Time will tell about the leaves and needle issues. I would have given 5 stars if they had stamped these with a bit of a valley in them.

The media could not be loaded. I spent $300 on these, they ended up costing me an additional $1,300. Paid a gutter company $2 a foot to put these on my second story gutters since they were up 26 feet. It took just 1 rain the next day to realize they were worthless. Water ran right over them even with a slow steady rain. Was exactly like it was before I even had gutters! Now, I have to pay $3 a foot to have them take them down and replace with another brand which I have to buy. Afterwards, I saw other comments about bending them first to get them to work, after I installed them. They should state this in the marketing before someone buys it or come pre-shaped. I am extremely frustrated .

These are a little more complicated to install than the snap-on type but those didn't fit my gutters. They are invisible when installed. Pre-punched holes for the mounting screws would have been nice as well as longer sections. Easy to form to close in ends.

Water runs right over them and over the gutter. Don't waste your money.

easy to install if you own the right tools

Installed these last fall. Holes too small to let heavy rain water flow through gutter. Instead water pours out over edge and all our mulch in the yard. Removed them today and majority of gutters still had pine needles under the guards.
