2. Perforated Metal Guard
Flat metal panel punched with round holes, then formed to sit inside the gutter lip.
• Fast flow: thousands of holes act like a sieve, soaking up heavy rain quickly.
• Self-cleaning edge: wind often sweeps dry debris across the smooth top.
• Watch-list: pine straw can mat over holes; a 5-minute broom pass a couple of times a year keeps it clear.
