Default Gutter guards/shields on manufatured home gutters?

I have a manufatured home in Country Club Hills. I am tired of cleaning leaves out of my gutters (not really able to anymore). Is there somehow, someway, or somebody that can install metal or plastic guards to keep the leaves out? The three kind that Lowes sells won't fit. Thanks. Jim

I have not used them, but you may want to check out gutterbrush.com. They are cheap, easy to install, and come in several sizes. You just insert them into the gutter and they prevent leaves from accumulating in the gutters.

We put leaf filters on up north, they came out and took care of everything. Here we do not have any trees tall enough to worry about.

Default GutterBrush Gutter Guards

Not sure what size gutters your manufactured home has, but Gutter Brush has 5 sizes for just about any gutter out there. Nothing will be totally maintenance free, but these gutter guards provide a simple filter and are very easy to install and maintain.

For a previous home I had an adapter that fit very nicely on my leaf blower and allowed my to clean the gutters from the ground, that is the good news. The bad news is you tend to get old dried and wet leaves on you during this process, so I always had a hat and safety glasses on, but this was very quick and very effective, and NO ladders involved.

Good idea, I do the same thing. Always a good idea to do right before you plan to power wash the house because it can get kind of messy.
