“Leave” Summer Behind: Quick DIY Projects for Fall

Before you know it, you’ll be trading flip flops for boots and beach outings for trips to the pumpkin patch. Get ahead of crisp fall weather by doing a few simple “de-summering” projects around your home this weekend with the help of Frost King.

Prep Your Gutters
Falling leaves are pretty to look at, but they can do a number on your gutters. To prevent clogs and keep gutters working optimally, consider installing a downspout screen and gutter guards.

• Downspout Screen: Our patented “wedge” downspout screen has a unique self-cleaning design to permit the free flow of water—even when full of leaves and sticks. With easy, snap-together assembly, it installs in seconds and has two special adapters that fit both extra-wide and oval bottom gutters.

• Gutter Guards: Prevent leaves and debris from clogging gutters with our easy-to-install gutter screens. For standard size gutters, our vinyl snap-in gutter screen has three-foot long strips that snap into place easily and hold securely. The other option is our plastic mesh gutter guard, which can be easily unrolled and cut to fit any type of gutter.

Cover Your AC Unit
We’re sure your AC has been good to you all summer, but it’s time to give that baby a rest. An air conditioner cover will help protect your expensive unit from damage caused by cold weather while reducing uncomfortable drafts and heat loss. First, unplug the unit and clean the filter if necessary. Next, put on the Frost King AC unit cover that’s right for you, whether you need a window air conditioner cover or outdoor air conditioner cover for your central air unit.

• Window Unit: Elasticized for a secure fit, our window air conditioner covers come in a variety of sizes and will not crack or mildew. Just place the cover around the portion of the window unit that is exposed to the elements. Add our two-piece quilted indoor air conditioner cover for an extra layer of protection and insulation.

• Central Air Conditioner: Made of heavy gauge plastic that is winterized to stand up to the elements, our central air conditioner covers have attached elastic straps for a secure fit. Click here for our step-by-step winterizing process.
