DIY GumLeaf™ Gutter Guard
DIY GumLeaf Gutter Guard, there’s a popular saying in New Zealand that goes something like, ‘Kiwis; DIY, it’s in our DNA’. While the advertising campaign that launched it hails back a few years now, the phrase stuck and though we might not admit it, most kiwis are a little bit proud of that fact!
The good news is that Gumleaf Gutter Guard is 100% ideal for DIY application. It’s easy to buy (we have a great relationship with our direct suppliers in Australia and can sell the product direct to you.) Just call us anytime 6 days a week and we’ll help you with all that you need to order.
Alternatively, Gumleaf is available from Mitre10 ITM and PlaceMakers. It’s fairly simple to cut, and not generally too difficult to fit and attach to your guttering … and we can honestly say, it’s not rocket science!

Clean your gutters, make sure they are fully supported and free of rust and leaks
5.
Slide back your first row of tiles
6.
Place your guard on top of the gutter and overlap your last piece
7.
The louvres should be facing away from the roof
8.
Screw every 300mm along the gutter lip
9.
Screw at the overlap and slide your tiles back into position
10.
For corners, trim your mesh to size, bend the back section down, install

You’re done!
