$43? Maybe we will just quit calling it Aluminum and keep using it for only $1.94.

How about these:

A fullsize sheet of the aluminum mesh is around $80 for a 36" x 120", but you can get it cut down to the size you want.

If it's not ALUM. then what is it then. I have had my gutter guard on for years and it works great. Stoped a bird i hit. Just pushed it in a little, I pushed it back out looks good. for less then two bucks saved the cond. & or rad. I'll stay with it.

What would we ever do with the rest of the materials not used..? Group buy and divy out the sections? Might as well keeps tabs on the local scrap yard as I'm sure they get pieces in on a somewhat regular basis......and a whole lot cheaper....best place for scrap pieces for experimental mods...

Gutter-guard is made outta "alumanized steel' (spelling ??)

It's only coated with aluminum.. Stick a magnet to it, It will stick..(not knocking it mind you)...

I got my piece free, & I powder-coated it here....

So I'm fine with mine.. Fact is, I really like it.

Black Gloss, very stealth looking..You'd never know it's there till you are up on it...
Or some offensive road debris attempts an attack..
