2 INSTALL OPTIONS
You can either use the 3M Very High Bond tape (A) that comes pre-applied on each four foot section of gutter guard,
or screw it on with the supplied self-tapping screws. The tape application method is for those who don’t feel comforta-
ble using a drill to screw it on. If you are comfortable using a drill, it’s not necessary to tape it on.
Clean out your gutters: Take the time to clean the leaves, pine needles and other debris from your gutters and
downspouts first. Go to ConsumerReports.org and read the article “10 Questions For Robert Lenney, Gutter Expert”
on how to clean your gutters out properly and safely.
Obey all your local building codes when installing the gutter guard!
Water test: If you would like to do a water test to see how Gutter Guard works after you do the install, wet the mesh
thoroughly before you spray water on the roof.

SCREW METHOD: There are no pre-drilled holes for the screws. The supplied self-tapping screws drill the holes
themselves while being screwed through the aluminum with a drill. A magnetic Hex Head Driver Bit (B) is included in
each box. The self-tapping screws will also penetrate through the top lip of the gutter with ease.
TAPE METHOD: For best results, install in 65 degree weather or above. Allow up to 12 hours to cure for full bond.
Important information in freezing conditions: If you live in areas that are prone to freezing, the following issues
can occur with any gutter guard.
ICICLES & ICE DAMS can form on your gutter during freezing conditions. Ice dams can cause water to leak back into
your home. Icicles can break and cause serious bodily harm. Properly installed, operated and maintained heating
elements on your roof and gutter can melt icicles and ice dams. Use a licensed electrical contractor in good standing
for installing any heating element products.
SNOW MELTING and running down your roof can run off the side of the gutter and refreeze on the ground below.
Water frozen on surfaces can create slipping hazards and cause serious bodily harm.
