ABSTRACT:
A gutter screen is provided to be placed over the open top of a gutter to enclose the top to enable water to enter but to keep debris out. The gutter screen has a longitudinally-extending front portion, a longitudinally-extending rear portion, and an intermediate longitudinally-extending portion. A front edge of the front portion has divergent legs to engage a front lip of the gutter to help hold the gutter screen in place. The intermediate portion is perforate over substantially the width thereof from the back portion to the front portion of the gutter and being convex as viewed from above. The back portion preferably has two longitudinally-extending, directly opposite grooves near the intermediate portion. These enable the back portion to be bent upwardly or downwardly to fit a particular installation. The back portion can be bent upwardly or downwardly to engage a fascia behind the gutter. The back portion, from the grooves to the back edge of the back portion, tapers to an edge to facilitate installation under shingles when used with that type of installation. The taper also facilitates downward installation between the rear gutter wall and the fascia.
