Gutter – with Screen Screens on Gutters Downspout – and Gutter Gutter and Downspout

Text in the illustration

screens can fall into the gutters - leading to faster clogging than having no screens at all

Generated explanation

The illustration shows a screened eaves gutter below a sloped shingle roof, with wood framing exposed at the cutaway. Mesh screening spans the gutter opening, but a section has sagged or fallen into the trough. The annotation warns that fallen screens can cause gutters to clog faster than gutters with no screens. No downspout is visible.
