[Woodworkers] Roofing Question

[Doug via Woodworkers]

Thanks everyone, looks like the way to go is with short pieces and a roof cap.  I was missing the part about the cap.  I have done several roofs but always were shingles where you made the cap out of shingles.

The most straight forward method of capping a tin roof is to buy prefabricated roof caps from the big box store.  Cut the twelve foot sections of tin roofing so that it ends just short of the peak.  Nail or screw it down so that all perforations are on the tops of the ridges.  Install the cap to cover the raw ends and seal off the job.  I am assuming that you have 1x4 horizontal cross stripping already installed for nailing surface at regular intervals.

 

A second method is to purchase a flat roll of tin sheeting material and to bend it to form your own cap material in 4 ft lengths.  Any sheet metal shop with a break could fabricate them for you quickly.
