    I see that your recommendation to fold down “1 1/2 Inch tabs” at the eaves would have fully covered the hole. You marked and cut a 1″ tab, which is a little short. Over-all, nice job.

    Does anyone know how a metal panel (exposed fasteners) installation on a Roof whose Ridge is longer then the Bottom. Should ridges be cut just before the Rake edge or should Ridges be tucked under Rake with the rake cut. Installer cut the Rake and tucked Ridges under Rake. Now water runs under metal.

    I’m building a shed against the back of a house. I’ll have a hi-side trim installed on the side of the house and extending several inches over the shed roof (extending over the panel ribs and installed on zee-closure). I’ll also have a rake trim installed on a perimeter cleat and zee-closure. How do I finish the rake trim where it meets the hi-side trim?

      Hi Hanza. What you’re describing sounds like when your rake comes into your eave, it isn’t at 90 degrees. Despite this, you would still install your eave trim underneath the roof panel and install the rake trim as shown in the video. This will require that you modify the angle for the rake trim to suit your field conditions. If you have any further questions about your specific project, one of our representatives would be happy to take a look at your drawings to better help with your specific field conditions. You can find a representative in your area here: http://www.abcmetalroofing.com/About-Us/Locations/.

      @American Building Components no we cannot use ! i feel you dint get my question ,suppose our eave length is different for both side.so Automatically gabel will not make 90 degree with eave.so in this situation you need to give path for water exit .how you will handel this situation.

    why on earth would you cut the panels short of the eave? all the panels are 1/4” short of the edge. and it looks like it was on purpose since they are all neatly and equally short of the eave. Did someone seriously say that it’s better for the rain to run onto the top of the drip edge, rather than go OVER the drip edge and maybe drip off the panel first…like every roof in the history of history? I know there’s a offset cleat but come on. Put the cleat 3/4” lower and cut/hem the panel so it overhangs 1/2”. This is madness. There’s no way to stuff a gutter under that drip edge.

    This was not written for the novice in mind. I consider myself a capable DIYer; but, there was MUCH that I didn’t understand with this video and he cut out a lot of details that could have otherwise been helpful.
