Hi
I have issue with pine needles and gum leaves on single story house. Had Leafbusters to come out - got quote for ultra tech mesh - it's a lot of money - want to know if I am doing the right thing ....
Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Anyone used Leafbusters recently - 2013? 2Jan 08, 2014 3:33 pm All leaf guards have maintenance issues caused by the flow of water being disrupted, particularly during heavy rain. This stops the gutter being adequately flushed from front to back. Have you looked at the Fielders WaterGate zinc mesh guard? This comes in packs of 8 x 1.25 metres (10 metres) and is available in the Bunnings garden section for about $40 a pack ($4 per metre). http://www.fielders.com.au/aspx/Watergate.aspx http://www.fielders.com.au/pdf/FIEL_285 ... -s_P22.pdf It is secured under the gutter's roll on top of the front wall, fits standard size gutters and is easy DIY. Maintenance access is also easy due to the guard being in removable 1.25 metre lengths. Try Googling "Fielders WaterGate" on the Whirlpool forums HOME sub forum. If you ever replace your gutters, have a real serious look at the superior no maintenance Leaf Safe Guttering system. Nothing comes close. http://www.leafsafeguttering.com.au/ 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Anyone used Leafbusters recently - 2013? 3Jan 08, 2014 3:47 pm Thanks - but I have extreme pine needles and small gum leaves and tiny gum nuts ( thanks neighbours) - it looks like Hesse would penetrate very easily? Really want product that would protect and debris would then blow off in wind ? Preferably back into their yard? Re: Anyone used Leafbusters recently - 2013? 4Jan 08, 2014 4:53 pm The biggest problems are with the fine mesh leaf guards. You are better off having a mesh with wider apertures that won't block. I have seen weeds growing in fine mesh gutter guard! The focus should be on preventing the larger organic matter entering the gutter. The more open mesh also allows the gutter to flush a lot better. No mesh will do what you want. I would also steer clear of gutter mesh that doesn't allow access for maintenance. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

Hello SaveH20 Sure you already know but donโt forget that the thickness or thinness of the mesh strands is also a factor. The aluminium meshes we recommend also have thinner strands meaning greater overall hole area per-square-inch. https://graysonsgutterguard.com.au/full ... d-install/ But Leafbusters 2G UltraTech Mesh is extremely effective at reducing water sheeting. Leafbusters 1300 GUTTER Re: Anyone used Leafbusters recently - 2013? 7Feb 03, 2020 11:06 pm Mesh open % area brings into play the conflicting forces of gravity trying to draw water molecules through the mesh apertures Vs the cohesive force of water as seen for example when drops of water cling to the underside of a gutter. Once the droplet's molecular structure exceeds its cohesive force, gravity wins and the water droplet falls. The lower the angle is on mesh filter, the greater the chance of gravity winning the battle of opposing forces but the less chance of small debris being flushed. Few things in life don't involve a compromise to some degree and the days of one size fits all are gone but it is a challenge to present what represents an individual's best choice when the consumer doesn't always understand the choice they best need to make.
