				Gutter Guards
			 
 Looking into buying some gutter-guards.Does anyone have any experience or insight on what styles are best?
 Pros/Cons,etc,etc...
 
 I've watched a bunch of videos on youtube, but thought I'd toss it in here for a cycle or two...
 
 They look easy enough to install, I just don't want to buy a style I'm going to regret or need to replace in 5 years.
 
 Getting tired of climbing the ladder the last few weeks...

				 | Mine work excellent on the house except over the garage where I have a pine tree. Gutter guards do not work with pine needlesPosted from my iPhone/Mobile device

 |  Every year I usually take the smallest piece over the downspout off and clean that 2 foot section that has pine needles. |

				 | Not to be a pain, but I checked both big-box stores and couldn't find that style.Your grid looks small enough to keep bees out, do you remember where you purchased it?

				 | Sorry but they came w/the gutters when I got them replaced. No idea where to purchase them.  I have no complaints w/them.  They def. would keep the bees out.  
 Wish I had a better answer for you.
