Here is what we are looking at, I do have rake trim to go up the gables, from my understanding I can use what they send me ( the steel drip edge) and push my fascia up under that in the eves. Should look good and function well from what I see

I think the top one is for gabel end and bottom is non gabel.

I spoke with the steel roofing manufacturer and sent them the same pic, they tell me either one as it is not actually required when using a metal roof and a fascia the way I am.

Which, leaves me lost!

I have a 2x4 on the roof and under that there is a 2x6 fascia board.

It looks like regular drip edge comes down 7/8 and my aluminum fascia only comes up 6 inchs. I think this would leave a gap between the two once the soffit gets installed? Maybe im wrong

Right on thats just a different style of gable end peice. From a visual standpoint im not a fan of how it raises the end up but its just different means to the same end.

That top link goes under the tin that makes the roof, right at the fascia edge. It should be shiplapped and create a nice drip edge keeping water away from the building.

Honestly many metal roofs don't even use this trim peice because you can just leave the tin a little proud of the fascia board but that trim peice also makes sure there is no gap from the fasica cover peice.

When i get home from work i can post a pic of my buildings with metal roofs to show you better.


EDIT: Rechecked original post links and found that i was mistaken on the trim profile on one of the links. Yeah they are both rake eve edge peices and are interchangeable just like the manufacturer said. I would just use what they sent you.

One of the profile look similar to the gable end trim used on my metal roofs but yeah they are both eve ends.

I think I get what your saying.

Of those two options I already have he top one sitting with the roofing kit.

With that said, im referring to installing these peices along the eve of the roof not on the gable ends.

So the flat part not the gable.

My worry here is, I have 6 inch fascia, and that trim only comes down about an inch. With the trim mounted to the edge of the roof on top of the 2x4 skip sheeting it will not come down far enough for he fascia to tuck under it.

If that makes sense?

 

[tedo2007]

basically, this is why i posted the second link at the top

it almost looks like i need this piece rather than the top one i posted that they sent.

After looking at it again, it does appear that you can use the second link as the drip edge. Its not bent like the trim for the gable end so we were wrong on that.

Im not exactly sure what the 160degree bend is for? Figured it would just be flat.

Edit: Looks like the second link would work better if you didnt have overhangs and the roof metal was even with the side metal?? Just guessing.

From viewing the picture I posted I believe your correct I wonder if I can get by with using what they sent me? I just don't think the fascia will slide up under the drip edge very much. Not sure if this is even an issue

I like the "roof edge" one better. It will make the water drip off better than the other one. The last thing you want is water hitting your fascia causing it to rot.
Roof manufacturer says you dont need.. Maybe you dont need it to keep the roof from flying off, but tell that to my moisture rotted bottom purlin, LOL.. High enough wind and hard enough rain, it takes a soaking with out any drip edge.

Understood, I do have aluminum fascia to tuck up there also.

I don't think the drip edge comes down enough so I think I'm required to go with the second one due to the way it is configured
