How does the gutter-to-gutter system work?

Griffin Greenhouse & Nursery Supplies: Technical Support
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.

I have very old narrow gutters. Will Gutter Sense work with them?

GUTTER_SENSE_FAQ
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.
