<p>&nbsp;</p> <h1>How to install gutter protection</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You know what&rsquo;s better than cleaning out your gutters? Pretty much everything. Want to avoid this task? Try installing some gutter protection. It&rsquo;s easy. You got this.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Grab a pair of glove and set up your ladder. Make sure it&rsquo;s on solid footing and if you&rsquo;re using an extension ladder make sure it is secured against the wall.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Carefully climb the ladder with your garden hose in tow.</p> <p>3. Use your hands to pull out the bigger obstructions and some of the heaving sticks and leaves.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. Now use the garden hose to wash away as much of the gunk and grime as possible.&nbsp;</p> <p>5. You may need to reposition the ladder a few times in order to reach all areas of the gutters.&nbsp;</p> <p>6. Ensure your downspout isn&rsquo;t clogged before you install your gutter protection.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now you&rsquo;re ready to install the gutter protection.&nbsp;</p> <p>7. Grab a piece of the aluminum gutter protector, ensuring the drip foot, or back edge, fits snugly against the back of the gutter.</p> <p>8. Now, flex the shield slightly inward, and connect the front edge of the gutter-locking shield to the gutter lip.</p> <p>9. That&rsquo;s it. Overlap each piece a little at the end and match up notched areas with previous sections to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.&nbsp;</p> <p>With gutter protectors in place, you should see a dramatic reduction in the amount of gunk and grime that ends up in your gutters, which means you won&rsquo;t need to clean them nearly as often. We told you it was easy. You got this.&nbsp;</p>
