Re: Simple Screen Gutter Guards Better Than Pro-Installed Systems (and way cheaper)

Dick's Lumber in Vancouver is where I got the ground level gutter cleanouts.

Re: Simple Screen Gutter Guards Better Than Pro-Installed Systems (and way cheaper)

I went for a two step system, one install the smart screens (aluminum from Canadian Tire - recommended by holmes on homes) and secondly I installed cleanouts at the ground level. I haven't seen too many stores that carry the cleanouts but it is a piece that flares out and has a screen. The other thing I did was to remove the filter at the downspout gutter interface that prevents debris from falling down there. Anything that does get past the smart screens will then flow down the downspout and end up in the ground level cleanout.
