Gable Edge Trim

- This video covers the installation process of the gable edge trim. Mark discusses placement of the gable edge trim at the eave, joining two pieces of the gable edge trim along a single gable, and how to join the pieces where they meet at the ridge line.
**To address several comments/concerns about the overlap of the two pieces being done the wrong way, you all are indeed correct that in virtually all situations the roofer wants the upper piece of a flashing to overlap the lower. In this case that is exactly what is occurring in the water return channel on the roof deck, which will indeed carry some water. The reverse lapping on the face has the benefit of making the lap very less noticeable from the ground and may be desired from an aesthetic standpoint. In our training classes, we always recommend that if the installer is considering using a reverse lap on the face, that he review the two options with the homeowner who may think that the inside channel is lapped the wrong way when it is not. On top of the minuscule amount of rain that might penetrate this small reverse lap, if the coil on the fascia is up under the gable edge trim and the underlayment is lapped 1” over the corner of the roof and the coil (as is called for in the manual), water infiltration will never be a problem at this lap. We did confer with a board member of the Metal Construction Association on this detail and he actually liked the reverse lap and didn’t see any water issues with it. It perhaps would have been good for Mark to give the above explanation in the video. Hind sight is always 20/20! Thanks for your valuable feedback!**

LOL this old dude is proud of his muscles!
You have the gable edge closest to the peak tucking into the piece towards the drip/eaves starter.. Being a steel guy myself I'm going to point out the incredible flaw in that plan. Other than that, not bad but could be a lot better. Little trick, get yourself a pair of red and green offsets.
Is this a good product? What do you like for roof products?. I would like to DIY it only half roof got hailed and wait with other half for solar tech since roof is 10 years old 13 pitch w dormers/valleys. If your in NE Iowa could give you the job. Soo many products out there and more to come I suppose. Then again I think we should be redesigning culture from ground up. (The Venus Project etc)
I totally hear you there. Lets encourage water to get underneath these tabs. Brilliant.!
You put tabs on the short piece of trim. That's the wrong piece. The tabs should be on the bottom piece so any water runs OVER the lower piece. As you did it, any water running along the top of the short piece will go UNDER the lower long piece. Otherwise nice. But that's a serious flaw. We know all higher peices should go OVER lower pieces of trim/roofing/flashing, etc.
Correct this tutorial is a bit misleading.
the top trim supposed to overlap the bottom to keep water from entering bottom trim
Thanks for the feedback, Stan. Please see the note in the video description addressing this common concern.
pick up some Midwest offset reds and greens! those cuts are bad bro. I'm a sheet metal worker out in southern California and I would have my guys rip that off and start over cause that's horrible. anytime your running rake metal start from the bottom and work ur way up and both sides of the rake so u have the correct lap.
Yeah no kidding...lefthand, righthand
Show us how it's done .. this is the only video I could find as a hands on gable barge soaker where they meet together. Rough job but for those who are commenting about it show us how it's done. 🤙👍
Or Klein red offsets r decent
Christopher Compton where's the video tutorial. You sound like you know your trim. Hook us all up.
I do sheet metal as well, I use Milwaukee snips those are pretty badass
He over complicated this and no offense it looks bad as well
I do one piece at the peaks
isnt that join on the short piece totally backwards , your feeding water into the joint ?
His joint on L side would allow water to run down inside. 🙄
He has it backwards.
I'm thinking at about 2:30 in my hands would be bleeding all over,lol.
Would that be better to install the top dripedg over the bottom piece.
Hi Matt. You certainly could lap the outside face in the opposite direction, and I have done it both ways in actual application. As I show installing the gable edge trim in the video, it would be lapped so that a gap wouldn’t be seen from the ground, even as a siding installer would lap siding away from the line of sight.
There should be no water issue either way because the inside is lapped the proper direction in both cases, and fascia metal and underlayment should be behind the fascia leg of the gable edge trim.
One thing I should have mentioned, is that if an installer does lap the pieces as I have shown in the video, he should inform the homeowner that the inside, water return channel is lapped in the proper direction with the upper over the lower channel.
Thanks for your comment and thinking through this detail, Matt. Enjoy your roofing projects!
wich material is this? steel or aluminum, what gage it is? In my location, we use 23 ga aluminum, far softer than what you're cutting.
Waiting for this dude to slice his hand wide open.
Gloves, maybe?
i like how you made that fancy insert cut, but you did it backwards. if your inserting the top piece into the bottom piece then water is gunna flow right behind that bottom piece of drip edge. give it 1 winter and your drip edge is fucked
Are you serious. Your making a mountain out of a molehill.your over complicating
I have this style of trim and was trying to find another video of how then properly join to run water properly. Do you know of another source for info? Any instruction would be greatly appreciated
@@willkeen5010 Did you find one cause I'm in the same boat and this did not look right
part 5: water pissing in all over the place!
Not the best idea to use your straight blades as a pry tool for hems. I've seen some break and fly. Safety first. Don't want to go home with a razor in your eye or skin heh
yep...water trap right there
Thanks for your feedback David. Please see the note in the video description addressing this common concern.
if you did this for a living it would take you 3 years to do a roof
My god you want a chainsaw?
Be great if guys would stop flat nailing just about anything on metal installs. (Expansion). Good video though.
Wtf is this guy doing
WTF ...... ???
You start from the bottom up, the tab you made that goes into the bottom piece,,, water will run in and run the wood. You lost a customer and his referrals!!!
