Title: gutter guards

Never mind.

I was wondering if outdoor foam used for outdoor cushions would work as well as this stuff from Homedepot. However, I found that the stuff from Homedepot is about $1.56 per foot and with 5" outdoor foam cutting a sheet into wedges would be about $1.69 per foot.

I thought I would post this anyway in case someone else has used outdoor foam and found a price that made it less expensive.

I've tried a few different ways to not have to clean the gutters.  So far no luck.  I had screens and leaves broke down and got in. I now have the strainers in the top of the down spouts which help but I'm still on the ladder 3-4 times a year.    I have heard good things about these foam fillers.  Let me know how they work out.
