Leaf Shedder Expanded Aluminium Mesh Gutter Guard
Our expanded aluminium mesh, which we call Leaf Shedder, is the workhorse of our range. It's a 1 mm thick aluminium mesh with 3 mm holes, sized to stop leaves and debris while rain drains straight through.
Those same holes make it a proper bird proofing mesh too. It helps keep birds, possums and other pests out of your gutters and roofline, which matters as much as the leaves for a lot of local homes.
The finish is our proprietary coating, and it carries its own 10-year anti-fade guarantee. That, coupled with our 10-year guarantee against blocked gutters, makes our premium mesh the best on the market.

01 / What You Get
Where This Expanded Mesh Gutter Guard Earns Its Keep
Leaf and debris protection
This 3 mm gutter mesh blocks leaves and twigs while its holes stay open enough for steady water flow.
Rain keeps draining
Water passes through the mesh into gutters and downpipes instead of spilling over a blocked edge.
Tile and metal roofs
Installs on both roof types. We match the fit to your roof at the free on-site quote.
Long guarantees
A 25-year full system guarantee, 20 years on the workmanship, a written 10-year no blocked gutter guarantee and 10 years on the coating against fading.
02 / Details
Built for Bird Proofing Too
Blocked gutters aren't the only problem an open gutter invites. Birds and possums love a roofline, and once they're in, they're hard to move on. Expanded mesh closes off the gaps they use to get in.
If pests are the bigger issue at your place, or you're in a bushfire-prone area, our woven 2 mm EmberGuard takes the same idea further with a finer weave. We'll tell you straight which one your home needs.
03 / The Guarantee
The Coating and the Colour
Every run of expanded mesh we install is finished in our proprietary coating. Same finish across our whole range, and part of why it carries a 25-year system guarantee.
Colour-matched options are available, so the mesh blends with your roof and gutters rather than sitting on top looking like an add-on.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3 mm hole size do?
It's the balance point. Small enough to stop leaves, twigs and nesting birds. Open enough to let rain drain freely into the gutter.
Will expanded aluminium mesh rust?
It's aluminium, so it doesn't rust the way steel can, and it's finished in our proprietary coating. The 25-year system guarantee backs that up.
Does it keep possums out?
Bird proofing is one of the jobs this mesh is made for, and it helps keep possums and other pests out of gutters and rooflines. Tell us what's been getting in and we'll confirm the right mesh at your free quote.
Can expanded mesh be colour-matched to my roof?
Yes. Colour-matched options are available, and we'll line up choices against your roof and gutters at the quote.
How is expanded mesh different from woven EmberGuard?
Hole size and job list. Expanded mesh has 3 mm holes for leaves and bird proofing. EmberGuard is woven tighter at 2 mm, keeps out finer debris, and is the one we usually suggest for homes near bushland.
