Overhang Metal Roofing

There is a small size metal rim facing outwards and away from the roof fascia.
Overhang metal roofing. Cantilevered structures are popular for homes with balconies. Place corner pieces where panels will meet bends at the edge of the roofing. Use 1 1 4 inch nails to cover the outline of the roof with strips of metal eave flashing also called edging. Drip edge is a metal flashing that tends to overhang the sides of a roof.
A typical metal roof overhang may be 2 to 4 inches or even less. It has the main function of controlling water flow on the roof which has many implications. A cantilever is a rigid structural element anchored only at one end to a vertical support from which it is protruding. Most metal roofing is installed with little or no overhang either on eaves or gable edges because it tends to bend under heavy weights.
A cantilever roof overhang is one way to really give a really distinctive look to your home.
