Lean To Metal Roof Trim

The finished look with special trim all around the roof and ridge cap makes this roof style the best option.

Lean to metal roof trim.

The flashing should overlap the edge of the roof by one inch to help direct water. Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge. To install the drip edge use tin snips to cut a triangle from the side that sits on the plywood where the metal will wrap around the corner. Using the 2 nails nail the drip edge to the plywood.

We will be depending. Lean to carports have their own trusses and one side legs but lack the other side s legs where the structure is attached to something else. Flashing is metal trim that fits over joints where two sections of roof meet. It s very important that when you re installing the z trim that the paint always be on the visible side so that when you look up at the roof you have panel and a continuous finished paint visible to the naked eye.

Most commonly lean tos are attached to houses or existing garages for additional storage. If you look here at the lower slope roof you can see that we ve already put panel on it and installed z trim as we have been doing elsewhere on this project. The point of the triangle is where the metal will wrap around. A metal lean to is single sloped structure that is usually installed against another structure.

Take your first sheet of metal and place it on the roof so that it overhangs the edge at least 3 4 in 1 9 cm. Use your neoprene washer head screws to secure the metal to the sheathing. The piece that s going to allow us to join the panels on the lower slope and the panels on the higher slope is the pitch transition flashing or the pitch change trim. It helps direct water away from the meeting points and keeps the roofing dry.

Do you need to install eave or fascia for a metal roof. There are two types of lean to s. Here is a short video showing how. For the final step install the trim of your choice as a cover against the side structure.

Screw it in with a drill and nails. Space the screws about 12 in 30 cm apart down the entire piece of metal. Bend the flashing into a v shape to fit over the top roof ridge and the corners where the panels meet. It turned out really beautiful but the flashing isn t done correctly.

We use this z trim between the ribs attach it to the roof and then attach the final trim to the z. Also snip the other side directly across to prevent it from flattening.
