Gutter Sense is basically designed for flat bottomed gutters (see above for round gutters). While Gutter Sense works in most gutters and for most debris, there may be some special situation in which it might not perform and that's why we provide a 30 day return policy. Please try out your new tool when it arrives so you can return it in time if it does not meet your expectations.

The paddles on Gutter Sense are 2-1/2" wide. Some very old gutters, while being close to 3 inches wide at the bottom are very narrow at the top. If the roof overhang is close to the gutter or shingles protrude into the gutter you may encounter problems dislodging large clumps of debris. Take smaller bites by closing the tool partially before grabbing debris and subsequently do more frequent cleanings so the tool can more easily exit the gutter with less debris.

While Gutter Sense is proving to be the best choice for cleaning gutters without a ladder, as with any plastic tool it is not indestructible. We recently (July, 2007) changed the plastic to an impact modified glass filled Nylon which now makes Gutter Sense about 1/3 more break resistant than prior tools. Still, it can be broken if mishandled. The tool was designed to be extremely lightweight to make it easy to handle on a long pole, so parts are no more massive then is required to do the job.

The curtain panels are pulled flat across the width of the greenhouse at gutter height. This configuration minimizes the volume of greenhouse air below the curtain that must be heated. These systems require less installation labor than a typical truss-to-truss system. However, gutter systems are not ideal for every greenhouse. If unit heaters or circulation fans are mounted above gutter level, the curtain will block them from heating or circulating the air under the system, where the crop is.

No. Hallett Gutter Cover® has been tested and it was found that most vinyl guttering does not have the lip to accommodate our product.

Try dragging a plastic sheet along the ground as you go. It's kind of hard to be precise enough to drop the debris into a bucket from high up and you don't want to lower the pole away from your body as that would take too much effort owing to the leverage involved. You want to keep the pole vertical for the most part only leaning the pole far enough away from you to avoid getting hit with debris as it drops.

Obviously that will depend on the type and amount of debris, the length and height of the gutter and the mechanical ability of the user and the amount of practice one has with the tool among other factors. I have seventy-five feet of gutter 1-1/2-stories high, use a twelve-foot extension pole and am practiced with the tool. I have a lot of trees, pines among them, and it takes me about fifteen to twenty minutes to clean them when fully loaded with Gutter Sense.

I invite comparing Gutter Sense to other gutter tools. Compare the design features. Gutter Sense is light enough (about 6 oz.) to use up to a two-story level. To my knowledge this is the only gutter-cleaning tool that can boast this capability. It is usable with variable length poles making it possible to tailor the tool to the height of the gutter being cleaned.

Yes, but extreme care and caution should be taken when installing and installations may be limited to new roofs only, as these types of roofs may break when lifted to install the gutter cover.

Gutter Sense requires a conventional ? x 5 TPI Acme thread as works with paint rollers. Some pruning poles have tapered or socket ends that are incompatible. You might be able to Jerry rig it by using a metal thread end repair fitting sometimes available at Hardware Stores used to clamp onto the end of a wooden pole that has damaged threads. Some pruning sectional poles are quite heavy and you might find you are better off obtaining a more suitable pole for use with Gutter Sense.

There are a lot of poles out there that are perfectly fine for use with gutter sense. Cam locks vary in quality from good to junk. Some work for awhile and then tend to slip or allow the poles to twist. You want a pole that won't do either. I think it's worth the extra ten or twenty bucks to get a good quality pole with good locks whether internal or external that will perform well and will pay for itself over time.

It depends mostly on how high your gutter is. The higher it is the longer a pole you need to reach it, and the longer the pole, the more weight you are supporting. I can only answer this question subjectively. I suppose I am of average strength for a man and encounter very little fatigue in the fifteen or twenty minutes it takes me to clean my seventy-five feet of 1-1/2 story gutter with my fully extended 12 Ft. extension pole. A dainty lady would find it more tiring.

Yes. Gutter Sense is effective for removing most sorts of debris whether packed or not wet or dry even an errant golf ball but I have seen conditions where owners have neglected cleaning their gutters for a year or more with foot high trees growing in them with their roots interlaced with dirt and pine needles creating a kind of cement.

Obviously, you don't get wet using Gutter Sense. Water tools can cause clogs in the downspout by driving debris in them. Debris can jam up as leaves pile up against more leaves or against the gutter supports followed by filling the gutter with water. They can scatter dirt and debris and can cause water damage in the structure. They require a water hookup and can't reach up very high.

Gutters become clogged when leaves and debris fall onto your roof and accumulate in the gutters. When it rains, debris in your gutters causes your downspouts to clog and your gutters to overflow. This causes rot and damage to your home, lawn, basement and landscaping. Gutter Helmet® patented nose-forward design prevents leaves and debris from entering your gutter system.

I think you mean guttate psoriasis. Guttate means drop-like and is used to describe a type of psoriasis that is often the first manifestation in adolescents and young adults. It is an example of infection triggering the disease and often follows a sore throat, especially when a bacterium called Streptococcus is the cause. Very small drop-like patches of psoriasis appear on the trunk and limbs, and may slowly clear on their own after several months.

Languages are advantages. They work by letting you speak/read/write. Usually, you don't roll for this, but if your comprehension isn't perfect, you'll have to roll vs. IQ or a skill -- at a modifier -- to communicate with others. Thus, having a language is largely qualitative -- you do or you don't, although there are levels of this. Using a language depends on your smarts or training.

Not really. The basic rule of thumb is that the only time when screens work well, is when you do not have to clean your gutters very often at all in the first place. Our suggestion is, save your money now and your frustrations later. Gutter screens are very profitable. For that reason every hardware store or even home improvement catalogue carries some sort of contraption, cheep or expensive, with a promise that you won't have to clean your gutters ever again.
