What do I use for reaching two stories up for gutters?

I wouldn't recommend this for a height over about 12-15 feet. The pipe would get unweildy and heavy. Also the outlet shoots air to the side which produces a sideways force(torque) on the pipe that you must manually counter. With twice the height, you get twice the weight and twice the torque. It will tire you out quickly.

Get on the roof with a long string. Place the string where you are going to run your heat. This takes some time but will save you lots of time later. Rember to add for you gutters and dawn spouts. Add all your totals and give it ten extra feet. Take your time and good luck. This stuff works great if installed correctly.

This hook is dangerous or impossible to use on a metal roof! That said, if you are using it on a shingle roof it would be best to remove the lower section of the extension ladder. This gives you more hook to grip over the top with since the bottom section is making the ladder twice as thick. You also need two hooks, not one. If you are the least bit uneasy hanging on a steep roof, save your money and don't try to use these things.

Heating cable for this gutter LeafsOut protector probably would not be satisfactory unless the cable ran the full length of the gutter to downspout. Electrical energy consumed by the heating cable would be cost prohibitive.

The wand extends to 70 inches - long enough to get to first story gutters. However the end accepts a regular hose attachment so you can buy additional extensions at places like Home Depot to get additional reach.

mine went under some and got stuck on some, I have about 3 diff. types of gutters on my house and the last addition I put on the installers (I think) put spikes too low or at a downward angle to the house and it gets stuck on about every other one of them. I just gave up this year and bought leaf guards. ouch!

Great question! What I did was measure 15 inches between the wire at the gutter. I went up the roof 7' and then come down to the gutter clipped it then went back up the roof 7' and came down to the gutter and clipped that 15 inches from the first wire. I did that down the length of the roof. It worked great. This web site will give you the formula to use http://static.hardwarestore.com/media/pdf-misc/297663.pdf

Thank you. I am a single woman with a large property to maintain and am afraid of heights so anything that would help me avoid a ladder would be good. I will keep looking for something more lightweight.

If you are talking about the bottom free edge of the shade when fully unrolled, then you could use bungees to some weights ( I use some exercise kettle bells). Otherwise, masonry drill to set anchor eye loops to the ground for fastening.)

There isn't a gutter cleaner adapter included in the kit. You would have to get above the gutter to clean it out.

I had the same problem. If I remember correctly the instructions tell you which model will work with the gutter attachment.

A step ladder reaches with no problem. There is a set screw in the base of the unit that when loosened releases the fixture from the base allowing you to bring the fixture down while the base remains anchored to the eave of the house.

Good question. I guess this depends on how the metal roof is fastened where the gutter meets it. I would suggest contacting scott at LeafsOut. his email is scott@leafsout.com . He was very helpful when I made my purchased and answered all of my questions.

If you're referring to the brackets that attach your gutter to your roof you can simply slide your gutterstuff under the brackets. It takes a little work if the gutterstuff is going across multiple brackets but its not that hard.

Sure I don't see why not. I have them along the outside edge of my deck railings, and then run up the corner board and under my eves just below where a gutter would be. Works great, looks great, love em.

Donald, I have a one-story house; however, several of my windows are very high. The spray worked on these windows. I have a friend who has a two-story house; and it does reach the second floor without a ladder. They have good water pressure, so this may be a factor.
