More "Gutter" Screens
I figured for about $10 I couldn't go wrong, so cut & fit from the template in this forum a pair of "gutter" screens for myself. I think they look okay, I could use the $100 I saved on something else cool... something I can't make myself!

Brother-in-law and I have been trying to get those to fit for 3 weekends now with the gutter screens. Just found the template yesterday, so we're hopeful a quick job will be all it takes this weekend

I posted mine a few days ago. I got a roughly 60% "Look Good" & a 40% "Ain't The Real Thing." Yours look good and I'm pretty pleased with mine. Not sure what I'm going to do. I found the "Real" ones on eBay for about $80.

Do you get black screen spline and split it to make the border. Guess I don't know exactly how you guys are putting these together..........

Those screens look good to me - and for $10, I'd say you got a great deal.

Download the templates. Print them full size. Should be 3 sheets. Cut out, tape together and make a full size cardboard template. Worked fine for me.

I am happy to think that I am responsible for the current shortage of Gutter Guards at Home Depot! They look great! I went and painted a set to match my car and I didn't like them. I am sticking with the silver screens! This may be a new POLL soon!!!

Tried printing out the template a few different ways, keeps coming out way too big on 1 page.
Must be missing something ???
