"I'm Tom Shean and today on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to install a metal roof. The shake panels are terminated by bending over the gable fascia at approximately 2 inches. Place the shake cap over the gable aligning a profile in the cap with the nose of the shake tile. Hold the shake cap plume with the fascia and level with the plane of the roof and fasten down to the top leg into the battens. Snip the top leg of the cap 3/4 of an inch flush with each front down turn of the panels and then the leg of the trim down tight to the tile to close this gap. In high wind areas we recommend that an additional fastener be placed through the side into the fascia. At the eave cut the end and fold closed. FGW is installed along the gable fascia over the 1x2. Measure for the cut panel allowing for a 1/2 inch overhang and a 2 to 2 1/2 inch fold. Notch the panel at the overhang marks removing the front and back up stance. Place the panel in the shake break flush with the back edge and make the tapper fold. Install and fasten in the panels in the normal fashion. After fastening tap the corners and the edges of the tapered fold slightly to adjust and close the gaps. Exposed cuts should then be sealed with acrylic and granules."
