Cal E asked:


I’d like to use common steel window screening tucked under my shingles and slanting down to the outer edge of my gutters, attached with sheet-metal screws. I know there are expensive products available to do this, but it seems like simple screening should do the trick.

Is there a reason this won’t work well? Will rain penetrate the screen properly? Would a bigger screen weave work better? I have thousands of maple-copters that I think would clog a screen with, say, a 1/4-inch weave.

If you’ve done this, please let me know how well it worked and how I should proceed. Thanks!

Timothy
