New Steel Roof

Search Projects:   Share Thumbnails Slideshow Tutorial <<   Its ALL - TOTALLY DONE ! Here's the roof all finished and trimmed out. The rake, or gable trims and ridge vent are all installed. The point at the other end had to add to the fun when I installed the rake trim. On a straight gable end (right side of the Picture) the trim starts at the eave and run up the roof and terminates under the ridge vent. If you follow the trim thats is on the extreme right edge of the picture you'll see it go up under the ridge cap. But what do you do with the other end of the building where it angles out??? and, no there are no instructions in the manuals to help figure this one out. The big issue is how do you terminate the end of that trim so rain can not get underneath it?? Well, if you follow the trim on the left side of the picture up the roof you will see that it just continues up the roof and under the ridge cap. Well, thats AFTER some modifications. Basically we had to trim off the part that would have hung down on the face of the building. We re-formed the trim it to come down on the roof panel similar to the way the roofing panels over lap. In our case we got lucky and the re-formed trim came down right on top of a rib in the roofing panel and screwed it into place.. The main thing is that its waterproof.. If you zoom in on the previous picture it might help show how that trim was finished. You are aware that if you click on the pictures you can blow them up back to original size, right?? <<
