These steps show the correct procedure for
installing roof edge products to facilitate
easy installation of the LP
®
SmartSide
®
Sot and Fascia.
Depending on the
situation you will need
to use your discretion
to install Sot or Fascia
rst.
STEP 1: Hold the metal
roof edge up to the eave
edge of the roof line.
Keep the top edge of the
metal on the plane of
the sheathing, slide the
metal roof edge up or
down the roof until a 5/8"
measurement is achieved
perpendicularly out from
the Fascia to the inside
of the bend in the metal
roof edge.
Continue to hold it in this
position.
STEP 2: While in the
same position as Step 1,
mark the top edge of the
metal roof edge on the
roof sheathing.
STEP 3:
Take the distance of
the mark from Step 2
measure the edge of the
roof to the mark on the
opposite of the eave.
Snap a chalk line from
end to end for reference.
STEP 4: Install the metal
roof edge by aligning to
the chalk line and fasten.
Be sure excess material
hangs over past the ends
of the roof corners, gable
or eave intersection.
Trim the edge of the
metal roof once it is
installed on the gable
ends or around the
corners
(for hip roof lines).
STEP 5: For hip roof lines,
repeat steps 1 through
3 for the other sides of
the roof system and then
skip to Step 10.
STEP 6: Install roong
underlayment.
STEP 7: For gable ends,
hold the metal roof edge
up to the gable edge of
the roof line. Keep the top edge of the metal
roof edge on the plane of the sheathing.
Then slide the metal
roof edge in or out from
the edge of the roof until
5/8" measurement is
achieved from the fascia
to the inside of the bend
in the metal roof edge.
Continue to hold it in
this position.
STEP 8: While holding
it in position, mark the
edge of the metal roof
edge onto the roof
underlayment.
STEP 9: Measure and
then mark the distance
from the edge of the
roof at the top end of the gable and snap a
chalk line from the bottom to the top. The
metal roof edge on the eave will be trimmed
later
(Approx. 2")
STEP 10: Next trim the metal roof edge
on the eave so that it ts with the metal
roof edge going up the gable or around
the corner for hip roof lines. Leaving the
installed piece longer than necessary.
(Approx. 2") Trim AFTER the Fascia is added.
