Has anyone tried this? Met the rep at the HBA in Kansas City--looked really cool and simple to use.

Just not sure if it will really keep the water flow moving but still keep the debris out...

wanted to share

Looks like a nice summer rain would soak in and dissipate the water and probably repel the few leaves that may fall. Also looks like a medium to heavy rain may allow the water to shoot right over the top and then would probably also prevent leaves from sticking. I'll post this rightside up pix to get some other thoughts...I'm sure someone, somewhere believes in this on the drafting table. I'll look for some at the local hardware store and see how it feels.

Interesting idea. Guessing it is a better bet for some climates more than others. How does it handle freezing temps?

I would agree. Rep addressed the climate change issue and said that it would work. I was even thinking that it may help in freezing climate where ice would be an issue. May help with that in some way.
