What Do You Call Those Foam Triangles for Gutter Gaps?
Asked by XxV3nOm93xX
I've got an aluminum corrugated patio cover with a sealed gutter, and it seems the original installation stuffed foam triangles in the gaps to stop birds from nesting. Unfortunately, these foam pieces have started to break down and are getting blown away in the wind. I've shared some pictures showing what I'm talking about, but now I'm trying to figure out what these foam triangles are called and where I can find replacements since the company that installed it is no longer in business.

You might be searching for foam closure strips! Check out something like those from Home Depot. They sell packs, but if your pieces are individual, you might want to pick up some rigid foam board instead and cut it yourself. Easy peasy!

Definitely consider getting some rigid foam board for this! Places like Home Depot or any hardware store should carry it. You can cut it to your desired thickness—just spray paint it for color if you want! How thick are your current pieces?

It looks like what you need are rigid foam sheets—pretty common! You can find something similar at most craft stores or building supply shops. Just grab a sheet and cut it down to size. That should work for you!
