I want to replace my run roof. This looks as though it sheds water well. I live in the south so no need for much snow protection. However, I have a tree towering over my run. How well will this pitch shed leaves? Would a leaf blower take care of that easily enough throughout the year? Or...

Welcome to the flock! I haven't been here but a few weeks nd have totally enjoyed reading so much good advise.
