Could put some netting over it to prevent leaves from getting in to it.
Seems like a fairly non standard approach which might limit your options for improvement though.

Yep, that’s my plan rather than the hedgehogs. I’ve not heard great things about them

You mean the whole guttering setup as it stands?

Looks like all those leaves are already doing a pretty good job of stopping leaves getting in

I might have posted about this before, but need to do something about a gutter issue on our garage before the summer's out.
Basically we have water coming into the garage when the rain is heavy and causing mould. Long term I'm concerned it'll cause structural issues too.
The problem seems to be that the gutter running the length of the garage isn't big enough to handle the volume of water when it rains heavily and isn't on a steep enough angle to force the water into the down pipe at the door end of the structure. It's a double length garage about 12 metres in length, so that's a lot of water building up. Lastly, as one of the pictures shows, the gutter fills with crap really easily which doesn't help.
I'd love to find a DIYable solution to this rather than pay someone to fix it, mainly because there a good chance we'll end up pulling this garage down in the next 2-3 years to build an office. Any thoughts gratefully received.
