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.

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.
