LeafTek Gutter Guards for Leaves - Heavy-Duty Aluminum Protection System with Vented Raised Ridge Edge - American-Made Shield Covers for Gutters - DIY-Friendly Leaf Barrier White, 8" Sample

I ordered a sample pack of this style and another one, since I didn't know which size I needed. I also wanted to check the size and number of holes. I live in Michigan where the snow melts, but when it hits the gutter guards, depending on the style you have it refreezes and then makes the gutters useless. These seem to have a good size hole without being able to let in pine needles or whirly birds, and don't look like they would freeze shut as easy as the other styles, and they are very sturdy and appear very easy to install even for a DIYer. I also like the black color, it should blend better and hopefully will draw a little heat to help with the snow and ice.

Installed them a couple of years ago and they have been awesome! No more clogged gutters.

I put up my own gutter guards and not knowing what to expect, this sample pack really helped me see how the different styles worked with my gutter. Saved my from buying the wrong thing.

This helpful kit allows to size the covers. It has good sized whole and lots of wholes. We are taking a different brand but this product has strong steel.

I like this style of gutter guard since there are pre-drilled holes where installer can secure the cover to the roof side of the gutter -- not just the outer gutter edge. That side doesn't get inserted under shingles or just sit there unfastened. Haven't installed yet because I am still looking at other similar options. (Bought the sample pack.) The black color option is a definite advantage in terms of melting snow and ice before it builds up. The screws and bit driver save the installer additional costs.
