Metal Roof Gutter Screens...The Lazy Pick

Marketers create new screens & guards every other day; is it necessary here? I went with an inexpensive, powder- coated steel screen to keep leaf debris out of my shop gutters. The immediate results are huge... the long term results will be just about as good. So keep it simple, if you can.

Good teamwork, great explanation.

Please update in a major downpour to see if the gutters still do their job or does the water just run over to the ground. (That was my experience)

Check a few things (if you still have the screens): -top lip doesn't come over past the gutter -screen itself isn't covered over with debris -gutter isn't installed too low -if your screen is "roll-lock" style (most commonly sold at home depot/ lowes/etc ..), flip it over to where it creates a slight trough under the gutter -if it's in a roof valley, you need a small splash block It's rare these screens will channel water over...if so, anything from that checklist will solve it. If it's still running over, they've just gotta be installed wrong.
