Deuba 6 x leaves protection - downpipe protection - for roof gutters or drains

Product Information

In all honesty, the most effective gutter guard solution you can invest in is an actual set of professionally installed and maintained gutter guards.

So, yes, downspout guards can work, but they may end up causing a myriad of issues that could easily be avoided by implementing a different type of downpipe / gutter protection. What is the most effective gutter guard solution? A downspout strainer is essentially fitted to the downpipe itself by screwing it to the top, or by simply sitting it inside the downpipe if the wire on the bottom is extended to help hold it in place. Does a downspout barrier stop anything other than tennis balls? It sure can! Pretty much anything that is larger than the holes in the wire or mesh on the downpipe spout will be caught by it and denied entry into the pipe. In 2021, the hinges of both meter boxes finally expired and the doors were blown off for good so it would seem that both recessed boxes would have to be replaced. This would require qualified electrical / gas installers removing the meters, pulling out the recessed meters and putting in new recessed meter boxes. This would be a very expensive exercise and, if the plastic Mitras boxes were to be used again, the story would repeat itself in a few years time. Since such meter box repairs are the responsibility of the house owner, the only sensible option is to put overboxes on the existing recessed-cavity parts.Smashing job Phil, you and the rest at JML should be proud of yourselves, your level of service is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Ultimately, having full gutter guards on your property is a much better investment than downpipe strainers because they are a more comprehensive solution that solves multiple issues at once. They’ll cut down on your time (or money) spent on gutter cleaning, and bushfire gutter guards can also be effective at deterring fire damage to your home from airborne embers, if you live in a fire-prone area. If you have pests (birds, mice, snakes, etc.) making their way into your home through the gutters, bird-proof gutter guards will help stop them too. Where can I buy downpipe barriers and gutter guards? Insight Anti-Climb Downpipe Covers are galvanised pipe protectors which not only protect vulnerable pipework from vandalism and accidental damage, but are also designed to stop anyone from using the protected pipe as a climbing route that will give them access to a flat roof or an upper storey window.

Do Downpipe Filter Guards Work?

These pipe protectors are typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminium and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and impacts from debris. Some customers have also complained that the downpipe guards actually fly out on very windy days, so they may not be suitable to people who live in areas with high winds.
