nice work. I like that you try not to cut into your brake. you're the first I have seen that mentions that. Do you ever give your metal any extra bends to stiffen it up?
Hi Ernest, thanks for your comment! We use straight fascia wherever eaves are being installed and for gable end fascia we add additional bends to stiffen up the metal to minimize the oil canning effect.
There are a couple of options for wrapping fascia around a corner. You can do it from 2 separate pieces making sure to overlap the corner on the first piece, then lay the second piece on top, making it flush with the edge. The other option is to make a relief cut in the bottom of the fascia (the 1 1/2" flap) and use either a hand seamer or your speed square to help bend the face of the metal fascia to a 90 degree angle. In both methods, make sure to cut a 45 degree mitre on the overlapping 1 1/2" flap to clean it up.
Love that trick of snipping the pieces to make a stop when you put it into the brake.
Great Video
great vid, just getting started breaking some base trim at my metal building. Well done. Always looking for help here on the Tube, cheers
Great video for diy, how to you attach the flashings to the rafter?
We used to just squash the hem in the brake. That way you don’t flip it around and back again for the second bend.
👍
