A new gutter covering system for keeping debris from accumulating in a gutter. The inventive device includes a length of net dimensioned for covering a gutter. The length of net is positioned over an open upper end of the gutter. The length of net has a long inboard edge, a long outboard edge, and opposing side edges. The inboard edge has a plurality of loops secured thereto and extending outwardly therefrom in a spaced relationship therealong. A plurality of side hooks are provided each having an elastic cord extending outwardly therefrom. Free ends of the elastic cords are secured to the outboard edge of the length of net in a spaced relationship therealong. The side hooks are extendable under a long outer side wall and a closed bottom end of the gutter and securing to a long inner side wall of the gutter. A pair of end hooks are provided with each having an elastic cord extending outwardly therefrom. The elastic cord of each end hook has a branched end for securement to opposing corners of the opposing side edges of the length of net. The end hooks are extendable under short end walls of the gutter and engaging the closed bottom end thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of gutter screens now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new gutter covering system construction wherein the same can be utilized for keeping debris from accumulating in a gutter.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new gutter covering system apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the gutter screens mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new gutter covering system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art gutter screens, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a length of net dimensioned for covering a gutter.
The length of net is positioned over an open upper end of the gutter.
The length of net has a long inboard edge, a long outboard edge, and opposing side edges.
The inboard edge has a plurality of loops secured thereto and extending outwardly therefrom in a spaced relationship therealong.
A plurality of side hooks are provided each having an elastic cord extending outwardly therefrom.
Free ends of the elastic cords are secured to the outboard edge of the length of net in a spaced relationship therealong.
The side hooks are extendable under a long outer side wall and a closed bottom end of the gutter and securing to a long inner side wall of the gutter.
A pair of end hooks are provided with each having an elastic cord extending outwardly therefrom.
The elastic cord of each end hook has a branched end for securement to opposing corners of the opposing side edges of the length of net.
The end hooks are extendable under short end walls of the gutter and engaging the closed bottom end thereof.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated
