Abstract: A gutter guard device (A) is disclosed which includes an elongated, tubular frame (B) formed by a rolled and stamped sheet metal construction. The stamping process defines transverse bracing webs (30) and vertical flanges (32) which brace between front and rear tubular braces (10,14). Pivotal legs (22,24) carried by frame (B) allow for easy installation of the guard in a gutter (12). Spaced indicator brackets (26,28) assist the support of the front of the frame while providing visibility to determine location of the frame from the ground. A ladder may be leaned against the gutter between the indicator tabs.
