Review: Great Gutter Guards for homes in heavily wooded areas! - I purchased the 5" sample to see how the guard was assembled and to verify it would work on my gutters with a metal roof. I was impressed with the quality of the construction and material used....better than a much more expensive brand which used plastic for the underlying mesh support versus the aluminum used in the WaterlockDIY product. The result is a thinner and stronger guard. I'm glad I bought the sample as I had improperly measured the gutter and determined that the 6" guard was the correct size. I purchased 180' of the 6" guards and have installed the first 100' with no issues. They snap into place and are screwed down using the supplied color matched self tapping screws. There were enough screws supplied to allow 5 per panel. Installation of the 100' took about six hours without any additional help (The house is single story so no high work was required...just a lot of ladder moving and up/down climbing). This is a great product at a very reasonable price. Installation is straight forward. Since I live in an area with many pine, fir and deciduous trees and copious rainfall, the micro mesh will keep the gutters clean of debris and eliminate the need of scooping out the needles and leaves multiple times each year. I am extremely satisfied with the product and would highly recommend it for homes that have surrounding fir and pine trees.
Review: Excellent product well designed and manufactured - I was tired of having to constantly clean my gutters even going so far this year of hiring a company to come and preform the service. I have a 2-story house with the gutters on one side being over 24 ft from the ground. This sent me down the rabbit hole to find a solution. I watched a lot of YouTube and searched desertcart looking at reviews. One of the reviews I read was from an engineering discussion the pro and cons of various systems. I too am an engineer so I evaluate and research most purchases with an eye for design, durability and function. I made the investment of time and cost as I purchased several samples to evaluate on my own. I am in Texas and I have Arizona Ash trees that put out a ton of seedpods in the fall and another tree with small leaves. If I had known what I know now I would have gotten rid of the Arizona Ash trees when they were small, but it is too late for that now. In addition, since I am in Texas I do not have to deal with ice dams so take that into consideration. Regardless, all of this debris ends up in my gutters clogging the downspouts which have to be cleaned by spring when the rains come. After evaluating the samples I got, by putting them on a low section of gutters using the leaves and seedpods with a water hose my conclusion was the Waterlock DIY system from Art of Gutters was the best for my situation. I will emphasize this there are multiple systems out there, plus several companies trying to sell you stuff. You need evaluate your roof pitch, gutters and tree foliage to determine the best solution. A great reference is the YouTube channel called “Gutter Guards Direct” the guy does a great job of explaining each system and conducts real world tests on his own house. One point made in the videos is that no matter how good the design is, if the installation of the gutters and the gutter guards are not correct your experience will be greatly affected. I 100% agree with this. I did contact a few gutter companies and costs were above what I intended, plus I knew I could at least do as good or better as anyone else. On to my experience, with Waterlock DIY. • Overall, the design and construction are excellent. The Aluminum is a good gauge and micro mesh was the right size for me. I have 5-inch gutters. • The DIY version was easy to install and comes with self-driving screws that match the color. • Depending on your gutters you will have to make some modification as needed to get every section to fit. I did as you will discovery most gutters are poorly installed and you will have to work around those issues. I would suggest getting a good pair of straight cut tin snips. Plus, gloves not to thick so you can feel the screws. I use red Milwaukee gloves exclusively and they worked great. • Because of my need to prevent anything from getting in my gutters I made a few modifications. I intentionally increased the overlap between each section to 1/2 inch by cutting this back before install. Then I would use a couple of screws to secure the overlap between sections. • On exterior corners I would cut off the micro mesh from drop pieces and make a cover to fill gaps at the 45 and hold down with screws. • At the start and end of runs I would make an overlap and screw down the straight edge this way nothing can get under the ends. Be aware this will leave exposed screws but no one really notices from the ground plus my goal is to keep stuff out of the gutters. • Finally, and most important, work as safely as possible. I purchased a ladder stabilizer (Werner), No Bull end caps for the stabilizer, I recommend both. I had a helper with me most of the time and I worked slowly and intentionally. Take your time and you will get the job done. Last comment: The gutter guards have been on a few weeks and so far the results are good. We have had a few rains, no noticeable overrun of water and the leave once dry just blow off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quality is excellent—the micromesh feels sturdy and well-built
*by S***K on April 1, 2026*

Installed Waterlock DIY 5" Micromesh Gutter Guards on about 100 feet of gutter, and the whole job took around 6 hours. Honestly, the hardest part wasn’t installing the product—it was just setting up and moving the ladder along the house. The installation itself was very straightforward. Everything fit well, the instructions were easy to follow, and I didn’t need any special tools. Once I got into a rhythm, it went quickly. The quality is excellent—the micromesh feels sturdy and well-built, and it looks like it’ll hold up great through all seasons. Overall, a simple DIY project with solid results. Received with 3 days after ordering.
