What works the best - a Gutter Strainer or a Gutter Guard? With so many brands and types of Gutter strainers and Gutter Guards to buy, which one should you get? I point out the common problem with most of these filters and guards that makes them ineffective.

The problem with most gutter guards and Filters is that they have very fine holes that prevent debris from getting through. Small debris is supposed to flow through, while leaves and twigs should be kept out of the gutter.
This revolutionary filter allows fine debris to filter through while keeping leaves and bigger stuff away from the downspout. The low profile provides a greater area for water to flow through the filter, and then water flows under the filter to the spout area.
Z-Gutter Filter is constructed from 16 gauge galvanized wire and then coated with plastic in a 700-degree Fahrenheit oven.
