Rain gutters

Post by tls976 » Mon Jan 02, 2012 8:48 pm

Most Manufactured homes have rain gutters for the Carport and on the Awning for the front deck. What ( if any), is the easiest way to clean them? The corrigated sheets cover them up and it is very hard to remove leaves and birds nests. Its a stupid design if you ask me.

Most manufactured homes are not available from the factory with gutters. The gutters are added onsite by the owner or local contractor.

Lowe's home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, gives helpful tips on cleaning gutters and downspouts. Learn what tools you will need, how to remove leaves and branches, as well as other gutter maintenance tips.

I realize that gutters are an "after market" installation, but 95% of the manufactured homes I've seen have this one particular type of gutter. Just thought maybe someone knew a trick I was'nt aware of, or maybe the manufacturer of the gutters would have a tip. Thanks for your reply though.
