I am thinking of putting leaf free gutters on my shop. Who has them and do they work?

I've seen many over years. Mixed results.

A customer told me of a set-up that did work flawlessly. He would get the plain cheap gutter guards and install them just before leaf season. Then he would remove them for rest of the year. A bit labor intensive but it works.

Don't put up any gutters. Just put number 8 rock around the drip edge. Gutter guards work fine if low pitch and it doesn't rain real hard.

Mine and my daughters work just fine. Even better once we got rid of the dang maples.

I have had them and depending upon how many leaves you get they will work or not. The more leaves the less they work.

Best tool for guaranteed leaf free gutters is a chainsaw.

If your gutters are flush with your shingles they work great. If your gutters are below your shingles the leaves and pine needles will lay on top of the gutter screens instead of blowing off.

This, if the lot is graded properly to carry runoff away. Otherwise you dump water on your basement if you have one.

Check out GutterRx gutter covers. They do not slide under shingles. We install a lot of them each year. Stay away from the TV commercial guards, unless you want to spend way too much.

Look at GutterBrush for a different approach. I can tell you that this system works. There are some cheaper knockoffs on the market too. They seem to work also but aren't as well made.

An amish man built my shop. He said they have a guy that does gutters. I am going to contact him. Diggerman 16 thousand for 200 feet is outrageous. That is one thing that worries me about having someone do it is getting someone who won't screw you although all of my dealings with the amish have been positive.

We have had Leaf Guard for 18 years on our house which is surrounded by four large maple trees and I have never had a problem.
