The Downspout Guard That Blocks Pests and Covers Sharp Edges

GutterGate is the all-in-one downspout guard — sealing out critters while covering sharp edges and letting water flow freely.

Unguarded downspouts cause expensive problems

The problem GutterGate was built to solve.

Leaves and shingle grit wash in and clog the outlet, backing up water.

Pests use the open pipe as an entry point into your home.

Exposed edges rust, burr and become a safety hazard.

The Solution

One guard, three layers of protection

  • Hinged door lets water and debris flow through while keeping pests out.
  • Seals the opening against mice, squirrels, snakes and insects.
  • Covers sharp cut edges to protect kids, pets and hoses.
  • Durable ASA, made in the USA, installs in seconds.

Downspout Guard — Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a gutter guard and a downspout guard?

Gutter guards cover the top of your gutter to keep leaves out. A downspout guard like GutterGate seals the bottom outlet of the downspout to stop debris, pests and sharp edges at the exit point.

Will a downspout guard clog and back up water?

GutterGate's hinged door lets leaves and debris flow through while keeping pests out, so your downspout drains normally. It won't prevent all clogs, but it won't block water either.

Which downspout guard size do I need?

Measure your opening against a credit card: if the card is bigger than the opening, order 2x3; if it's smaller, order 3x4. Round downspouts use the 4" Round cap.
