Why no screws or overlap between the gutters?

Not professionally installed, but I love your video, man. You don't pretend to be a pro. It's fun to watch. After seeing your video, I'm gonna buy this product and install it on my gutter. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos it is so entertaining. :)

Haha thanks for watching.

Love the videos and I'm Looking forward to the future update on how well they worked. I removed similar ones from my inlaw's house after a few years because they did a poor job shedding the tree debris. Every year I still had to clean them off or else the water overtopped the debris instead of going into the gutter. finally they dented enough from the weight of wet leaves year after year to become useless and had to be removed.

Interesting! We shall see how these last. They seem strong. We also don't have many leaves here.

Sorry but this not how you install these properly. The instructions specifically say when you join two pieces together to cut the metal lip so that the mesh overlaps each other. You have gaps between sections and that will cause all kinds of problems for you in the future. Also, I wouldn't recommend using the adhesive. Keep the strip on there and run three self tapping screws per section. This is in case you have to remove them in the future for asphalt pebble clean out.

Angle grinder, great idea! I used tin snips, but your way is much easier.

I put these on my house back in the spring and love them. I’ll have to clean some leaves off my roof once they start falling but that’s due to the slope of the roof. The brush they make to clean the guards off works well too

So far I like them too. Might need to get one of those brushes.

@@LandtoHouse when I bought mine, they sent me a brush free when I registered them. Not sure if they are still doing that, but it was through their website

what about the overlap joint. at about 5 minutes, you left a gap.

I’m not sure if someone already said this or if you figured it out already.. but I just purchased the same stuff today in the gaps are supposed to overlay each other panel to panel.

Need a rain....Tuesday's coming. :-)

You know what's funny.... i swapped my work day to friday.... it has rained 3 Fridays in a row.

Enjoyed your video, but question why yu didn't cover the gap you pointed out? You seem to have enough product to have done that. Was there a reason?

I have a Question about Ram pumps i have seen your videos on siphon started ram pumps and i have also seen your video's on underwater ram pumps and it has me wondering if you connected one or more bell siphons to a ram pump would you be able to draw in enough water to run the ram pump underwater with the waste water feeding back into the reservoir that the bell siphons are drawing from?

Sadly no. The water will always end up in the lowest point from the waste valve. The pump does gain head pressure as you sink it underwater but also gains hydrostatic pressure. These two negate each other.

Looks to me that the screen portion should overlap so leaves can't go between sections. I was wondering if the instructions said to clean the gutters so the adhesive will stick?

There is a small overlap that can be used to close the gap. I did not do an awesome job at that. So far the adhesive is doing great!

I would have closed those gaps

I’ve got apprx 250 ft of that guard and just haven’t gotten around to installing it. I did temporarily put up one piece last spring and I was not happy with the amount of debris it kicked onto our back deck (shingle granules mostly) I think I’m only going to install it in places where it’s hard to reach to clean and places that the gutters aren’t hanging over our back deck. I may end up giving some of mine away as well lol

@@davemi00 oh I agree, I just wasn’t happy with the debris on our deck when I have easy access to the gutter for cleaning. If all my gutters overhung the yard it wouldn’t be such an issue but those granules don’t feel well under my feet on the wood deck. I’m lucky that my roofline is broken up enough that I can isolate where I want the gutter guards to be and not be without negating their effectiveness

A Quality Screening Should Shed Off the Shingle Debris. Otherwise that will eventually Fill Up and Slow water in the Gutters. Causing Heavy Rains to pour out and Over the Gutters.

This mesh is very fine. I think it will shed shingle debris well.

Shingles got to be cut back.

I'd still shoot some screws into it. You never know what quality 3M your gonna get.

Hopefully Seth wiped down the gutter edge before he attached em. Honestly with as much that gets pushed under the shingles, I’d be surprised if they moved much even without screws. I tested one piece on my house earlier in the year and didn’t even tape it down, never moved. Guess it all really depends on the amount of wind

@@frankh.3849 ah the heat, yea that’s a problem lol my set actually came with ‘optional’ screws, not sure about Seth’s. I’ll probably use screws on mine because my gutters are about 22 ft off the ground and me and heights don’t jive

These do not really work they keep out leaves but rainwater spills over gutter when these are installed I thought they were a great idea but have tried three different types same results on all tests shame really.
