Can this mesh be cut to size?

How often should I check the gutter mesh?
It is recommended to perform periodic visual inspections, especially after heavy rainfall or windy conditions, to clear any accumulated debris and ensure the mesh is secure.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is not staying in place
Ensure clips are firmly attached to the gutter edge and the mesh. Try adding more clips, especially in areas prone to wind. Check that the mesh is folded correctly to create a stable dome.
Water is still overflowing
The mesh may be completely covered in debris, or the clips may have allowed the mesh to sag excessively. Clear debris from the mesh surface and re-secure with clips to maintain the dome shape. Ensure downspouts are not blocked.
Mesh seems loose after a storm
Inspect all fixing clips for damage or dislodgement. Re-secure or replace any loose clips. Ensure the mesh is still properly shaped into a dome.

Compatibility:
