- How I install aluminum coil metal on a pork chop of a house. And how I handle tying in the gable metal to the pork chop using a hemmed piece to limit exposed nails. Including how to bend the metal for the fascias and how to form the "metal box" or "pork chop". Some areas of the country refer to it as a bird box. Check the comments for the tools I use and affiliate links to Amazon for them.

@sidingschool This is by far the best pork chop/bird box/cornice metal wrapping instructional video I have ever seen. Now it'll probably take me all day to get one done half as well as you, but I really appreciate this post. I've got 6 to do on my house and it's going to look so much nicer thanks to you!
Sweet! My pork chop/bird boxes are going to look 200% better going forward. Like that hem!
It’s a game changer for sure! Those couple extra minutes make the job look a lot nicer. 👍🏼
Super sweet. More metal tricks and tips would be great. Thankyou
You’re welcome! I think I’ll put together a fascia metal video eventually. I’m going to put it in my notes.
I just know it as a bird box, but I've never seen that hem you did. That is snazzy!...I'm gonna start doing that! Thanks man!
I guess it is the shape of a pork chop if you use your imagination? You’re welcome!
Would please consider doing a couple of full length videos on using the metal brake and the install around doors windows and trim... Thanks
Thanks for the interest Aaron. I’ll be working on getting more renovation work to show how to do windows, doors and other various fixes. I do have a video that shows how to figure and bend fascia metals for houses that I’ll be posting soon.
@@sidingschool Thanks for getting back to me, it's a shame that no one is doing what you are, I've seen so many hack jobs out there.
Can’t see it anyways!
How many professionals say this everyday
Probably too many! Good thing what I was talking about has no bearing on the performance of the siding at all 😊. It was an aesthetic thing on the back of the box, that you can’t see. It probably settled down on its own by now.
And people ask me why it costs so much to have metal installed.
I stopped worrying too much about comments on my pricing. I’m going to do a great job that’ll protect the house for decades. If they want to go with someone who is willing to slap the siding on then walk away and not worry about the house rotting out, then I’m not trying to compete anymore. I can’t in good conscience skip necessary water proofing steps even if it causes me to lose the job.
Pork chop...where the hell u from..that's a bird box
It means the same thing in the Northeast (if you don’t believe me google it). :)
In Maine they call it a pork chop I've only heard bird box on you tube I personally call it a sofit return
