Gutter guards for 6-inch half-round gutters

If you chose half-round gutters for the curved edge and exposed brackets, you probably want the guard to look just as intentional. We fit two premium options to our 6-inch half-round installations around Asheville: ShurFlo and LeafBlaster Pro.

Why does a 6-inch gutter need a wider guard?

The external brackets create extra space that the guard has to span. A standard 6-inch panel doesn’t cover that span on our 6-inch half-round setup. The gutter is still six inches wide. It’s the way it’s mounted that changes the fit.

ShurFlo: a wider panel for the bracket spacing

We use 7-inch ShurFlo on these 6-inch half-round gutters. The wider perforated aluminum panel gives us the coverage the external brackets require. This is the option we discuss first if leaves are the main problem.

LeafBlaster Pro: shaped for your roofline

LeafBlaster Pro uses stainless steel micro-mesh to screen out fine debris like pine needles. We check the roof edge and exterior brackets to see how the guard sits on your gutter. Where the panel fits as supplied, we install it that way. If the angle gets too steep as the gutter drops toward the downspout, we use a metal brake to form a raised ridge in the panel. That’s called tenting, and our crew makes that call on site.
