Blue Mountain Mesh™ Measurement
1. Measure the WIDTH (mm):
- Tile roof - the measurement from the outside
edge of the gutter to the base of the second tile
- Metal roof - the measurement from the outside
edge of the gutter to the first row of fixing screws*
2. Measure the LENGTH (m) of
the gutter to be covered
3. Choose the COLOUR
*On metal roofs, Blue Mountain Mesh™ is usually secured to
the roof sheets about 20mm beyond the first line of roof fixing
screws. This ensures a wide, downward sloping section of mesh that
helps ensure leaves and debris are blown off the roof by wind or
washed off by rainfall. It also prevents leaves getting stuck on
roof fixing screws.
Measuring the WIDTH
| Tile Roofs |
 |
| Lay a flat ruler on top and across the first tile
(the one that fits into the gutter) and slide the ruler up against
the face of the second tile. By looking at the lowest section
of the second tile assess that if water and leaves were flowing
down the tile would they flow on top of the ruler. If so, order
standard clips. If it looks like the leaves and debris would
flow under the ruler order ‘Z’ (zed) clips. Standard
clips are easier to fit than ‘Z’ clips. |

Measure from the outside
edge of gutter to the
“up flute” (closest point) of the roof sheet, then
measure from the outside edge of the gutter to
the first row of fixings on the roof sheets and the length of
gutter to be covered. |
