RF75 Guards are 36" in length for easy manageability during installation.

RF75 Guards have two "flex-hinge" seams which are made to be bent to match the desired roof pitch

OPTIONS:
           - Bend flange upward to slide under loose roofing, like 
                shingle roof products.

           - Cut flange off as/if needed to fit under roofing.
                (Leave enough material for guard back edge to sit 
                 atop and be supported by roof decking)
           
           - Bend flange downward to fit against back gutter 
                when installation under roof is not preferred or not
                possible
                (with metal or other rigid roofing materials)

A combination of all techniques can be used with a little self ingenuity because there is an unlimited amount of roof details that you can run across.  You must be proficient enough to adapt and resolve some "not so common" situations.

Clean gutter one last time.  Confirm gutter system is positive flowing and water flows as intended without leaving standing water areas.  Confirm downspouts are of sufficient size and that no excessive caulking or fasteners around the downspout outlet area block, slow, or anyway cause an interruption of the flow of water.

Place guard in desired location.

SECURE GUARD: A minimum of one fasteners should be used (in the center of guard/ hole provided) to keep the guard in place.
