preparation
Preparation is the key for gutter guard longevity. Cleaning out a gutter before installation with a brush will clear most of the debris but if the gutter has had previous growth, more preparation will be needed such as flushing the gutter clear out with a hose pipe and replacing any necessary leaking/moss growth gutter joints.
installation
Simply either slide the guard under the bracket and push along or un-click the bracket, place inside and re-click the bracket back into place. Each guard is 1000mm in length and will need a bracket to hold into place, the average house bracket distance is 600mm, so the majority of gutter guards should be supported but additional ones may be needed. 90° bends can be easily fitted by adjoining the guards, 135° bends can be easily cut with a saw to mitre up.
Tools & Tips
Most of the fitting will be tool free. For filling gaps, you will need a tape measure and a saw. Make sure gloves are worn when installing. If installing off a ladder, make sure the ladder isn’t resting directly on the gutter when un-clicking the bracket as the weight of yourself on the ladder will push the guttering in, making it very difficult to install the guard.
