Overhang Metal Roofing

Place corner pieces where panels will meet bends at the edge of the roofing.

Overhang metal roofing.

There is a small size metal rim facing outwards and away from the roof fascia. A typical metal roof overhang may be 2 to 4 inches or even less. Most metal roofing is installed with little or no overhang either on eaves or gable edges because it tends to bend under heavy weights. It has the main function of controlling water flow on the roof which has many implications.

A cantilever roof overhang is one way to really give a really distinctive look to your home. Using a cantilever means you don t need external bracing. A cantilever is a rigid structural element anchored only at one end to a vertical support from which it is protruding. Although it does not look like much this component is made to have great structural integrity.

Cantilevered structures are popular for homes with balconies.
