Abstract
A guard for preventing debris from entering a downspout of a rain gutter is provided. The guard includes a piece of non-woven material having a top surface, and a plurality of cross-sections that increase in area toward the top surface. The cross sections are generally complementary to an opening of the downspout. The material is adapted to extend at least partially into the downspout. The increase in area of the cross-sections toward the top surface prevents the material from being over-inserted into the downspout opening.
