Spouting and Leaves

[Alan88]

Is there anyway to stop leaves blocking the spouting between two sheds? Without cutting down the nearby trees or making one roof over both sheds (if we had the money i would like this done). Or is this just a problem we have to deal with till we have the money to re-roof

As you can see it blocks up and then run over into the shed and needs leaves cleaned out 3 or 4 times through winter

Would a hedgehog brush work?

Hands and knees and put crap in a flexible trug.
Brushes push a bow wave of wet crap in front of then that overflows into the shed.
Moral of story,avoid valley gutters like poison and do not let oak trees flourish near buildings especially grain stores. Damned things drop leaves for 6 months.

 

[mo!]

Hose pipe, drainage rods and a nozzle tied so that the water comes back towards you and wash them out. That's the best I've come up with anyway.

Got a similar problem and use drain rods from either end, thinking about an upturned gutter over the gutter or weldmesh/poultrymesh to trap leaves.

In a similar situation.

I cut the trees down...
