Shipping & returns
Tracked delivery anywhere in New Zealand. It is free on orders of $100 or more, and a flat $25 below that. Allow 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
Change of mind is not a legal right in New Zealand, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery. You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you under the guarantees in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be contracted out of for a consumer sale.
Looking after it
Rinse with a hose if silt builds up on the mesh. Aluminium does not rust, so nothing needs sealing or painting.
About this product
Rustproof aluminium mesh, sold by the metre.
0.7 mm aluminium in 100 x 20 cm lengths with a 3.5 x 2 mm diamond hole. Cut it with tin snips and drop it in. No minimum order.
Aluminium gutter guard in 100 x 20 cm lengths, sold by the metre.
The sheet is 0.7 mm thick with a micro-hole diamond pattern, 3.5 x 2 mm.
It stops leaves, insects, birds and debris from reaching the gutter and the downpipe while rain passes straight through.
Cut it to your gutter width with tin snips. Nothing is assembled.
Order only the number of metres you need.
A gutter guard is a screen that sits over the gutter so debris stays on top and water goes through. Everything that makes one good or bad is the hole size and what the sheet is made of.
This one is aluminium, 0.7 mm thick, with a diamond hole of 3.5 by 2 mm. That is small enough to stop the things that actually block a gutter in New Zealand, which are leaves, bark strips, seed pods and insects, and open enough that heavy rain does not sheet straight over the front edge.
Aluminium matters more than it sounds. Steel mesh rusts in a gutter, which is a wet channel that holds silt, and rust is what turns a guard into the thing that blocks the gutter. Aluminium does not rust and it is light enough that it puts no load on the bracket.
It comes in 100 by 20 cm lengths and is priced by the metre with no minimum, so a single awkward run over a doorway costs a metre rather than a roll. Cut it with tin snips to the width of your gutter.
It is a warehouse line, picked and packed by us.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Change of mind is not a legal right in New Zealand, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 our goods come with guarantees that cannot be contracted out of: they must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and do what we said they would. If they do not, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss. For a major failure the choice between a refund and a replacement is yours, not ours. We pay the return postage.
