DIY 6”Leaf Protection|Sample|Stainless Steel mesh|Black Aluminum Gutter Covers|Contractor Grade|Gutter Guard from Manufacturer|Made in The USA

I purchased the 5" sample to see how the guard was assembled and to verify it would work on my gutters with a metal roof. I was impressed with the quality of the construction and material used....better than a much more expensive brand which used plastic for the underlying mesh support versus the aluminum used in the WaterlockDIY product. The result is a thinner and stronger guard. I'm glad I bought the sample as I had improperly measured the gutter and determined that the 6" guard was the correct size. I purchased 180' of the 6" guards and have installed the first 100' with no issues. They snap into place and are screwed down using the supplied color matched self tapping screws. There were enough screws supplied to allow 5 per panel. Installation of the 100' took about six hours without any additional help (The house is single story so no high work was required...just a lot of ladder moving and up/down climbing). This is a great product at a very reasonable price. Installation is straight forward. Since I live in an area with many pine, fir and deciduous trees and copious rainfall, the micro mesh will keep the gutters clean of debris and eliminate the need of scooping out the needles and leaves multiple times each year. I am extremely satisfied with the product and would highly recommend it for homes that have surrounding fir and pine trees.

This review is for the Waterlock DIY 5” Leaf Protection Stainless Steel mesh White Aluminum Gutter Covers. I have lots of trees and debris that fills my gutters each spring and fall. Getting up and cleaning the gutters was such a pain so I started looking into DIY gutter guard solutions. The first image in my review shows the initial samples I purchased from Waterlock. I only ordered the white and black aluminum guards without the micromesh because I didn't want to spend the money. However, Waterlock included their mesh sample for free. So I performed my tests of debris, water, etc on all of them to see what worked best. As shown, the micromesh was the superior product so that's what I went with, even though it was a bit more money. After all, I only wanted to install gutter guards once. After ordering, the guards arrived lightning fast in clearly marked boxes. Padding was sufficient for most of the shipment (I ordered 170'). There were some scratches as shown in the second image, but they were minor. I made sure to use those guards in places that weren't seen (or as spares for the mesh). The high quality paint matched my gutter color perfectly. Installation was actually a breeze! These guards fit most of my gutters perfectly. For the sections that sagged or were slightly warped, bending the gutters was easy to fit then into place. The provided screws worked great and the quantity provided was more than enough for installation. I even had enough screws to secure the mesh seams to ensure there were no gaps. I use some of the mesh from unused guards as shown in my images. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. The corner cuts actually matched up perfectly. I would recommend Offset Straight-cutting Aviation Snips and an Aluminum Square to ensure a perfect 45 degree cut. The guards performed well during heavy rain storms. There was hardly any overflow for light to moderate rain. However, during HEAVY rain, there was some runoff but I think that's because my gutters filled up due to the amount of rain. I don't think any gutter could handle what we were getting that day. If the guards ever did get material on them (shingle dust, leafs, etc), a simple leaf blower removes the material with no effort. Between the price, easy of installation, and performance, I would say these are the best guards for the money. I highly recommend them!

Ordered a sample of this and was very impressed with the quality of this product and ordered more to do my entire house. I used about 130 ft and it took me about a day and a half to install. Install was very easy, probably took me longer than most because im very picky. I used a 7/32 drill bit and predrilled holes which made the zip screws go in nice and clean. It comes in 4 foot sections and I put a zip screw about every foot. Probably overkill but is very snug in the gutter. They have been on for about two weeks and had a 2 inch rainstorm with no issues, debris blows right off the top. Does exactly what I needed and hopefully they last a long time. More expensive than other products, but I feel its well spent. Very happy with the purchase.
