When you re repairing or installing a new metal roof it s important to know how to properly lap the roofing material.
Which way should facsia be lapped on a roof pitch.
As a result the drainage improves water flow and protects the roof from potential water damage.
The fascia covers the gables and ends of the roof rafters and builders usually consider it part of the siding trim.
This indicates the truss tails extending past the walls.
The other shows a view underneath the pitch transition strip flashing taken from the lower flatter pitch of roof.
Fortunately with a few safety precautions and some basic information metal roof installation is a very accessible project.
One picture shows a view from above the pitch transition.
I m wondering if this transition flashing was installed correctly because it sits high above the ribs on the lower panels i was thinking it should more or less.
Making the tops of your fascia boards the same angle as the roof allows you to easily place roofing material over them without creating bumps or ridges.
Doing so can prevent water damage to the underlying structure and will help with insulating the building.
Where should drip edges be placed.
Not every roof has fascia all around because some roofing designs include open ended rafters.
Rip the tops of the fascia boards to match the slope of your roof.
To figure out for the sheathing snap line swing the square over to the pitch of the roof in this case it is a six pitch and strike a line right there.
Set the angle of the circular saw blade to match the slope of your roof and run the saw along the top edge of each fascia board.
