When I had a new metal roof installed a few years ago, there was some leftover materials. This is aluminum so I kept everything. Included were a bunch of this angle trim cut-off pieces. Complete with adhesive strips!

I was looking at the metal roof I installed over my back patio using Galvalume and where it butted up against the roof I had some panel sagging and in any kind of strong rains I would get some dripping. Not cool!

About a week ago the dots connected in my brain and I found a use for those cut-off pieces! Installed these on Sunday and with our recent rains it's worked fantastic to address the drips I had. Stoked to have found a use for these little pieces I had held onto for the past few years!

I pre-drilled some small holes to help when fastening. Used those little 1/4" Florida room screws.







We just got back from Destin and while there, I noticed that all of the metal roofs had lots of screws. We were only a couple of blocks from the beach so I figured the number of fasteners must be from a hurricane code thing.
