Hey looks great! My house had gutter guard netting like this too. I had to remove mine after a couple years because small leaves and pine needles still made it through the net and I couldn't clean them up without removing the gutter guard. Another use for gutter guard net I've seen around is for custom car grilles.

Back to gutters, best of luck. Have you heard of gutter cleaning robots?

Hey I agree with you that gutter guards will never stop accumulation of debris, it will just slow it down. Selection of cell size might be a good way to optimize it depending on the type of leaves getting on roof.

BTW gutter cleaning robot is really impressive to me. It's a much cleaner solution to the problem. Only worry I have about that is financial viability considering the robot might have to be water resistant, shock resistant, etc. Of course that'll change depending on the country.

iRobot makes the Looj for this, maybe you could model something after it?

How about designing gutters so that they are easier to get to and clean?
