ABSTRACT:
A gutter guard is formed of an elongated flat sheet of perforated metal. The outer edge of the gutter guard is attached to the outer edge or lip of the gutter by several clips. The clips are preferably hinged which permits the gutter guard to pivot around the hinge clip. The inner edge of the gutter guard rests on the roof. A dam or weir juts upwardly from the surface of the perforated metal sheet parallel to and adjacent the outer edge to block or impede the flow of water thereacross. One or more handles are attached to the gutter guard to facilitate dumping of leaves and debris collected thereon. An extension rod having a hook-like head attachment can then be operated from the ground to grasp the handle and rotate the hinged gutter guard about the edge of the gutter.
