STEP 7: INSTALLING GABLE TRIM

Gable trim will be Denver Style trim about 5 1/2” deep and 10’ to 10’-2” long.

Most buildings will require a piece of trim clipped and folded at the peak and at least one extension piece on each side.

Wider buildings will require additional extension pieces.

Clip one piece of trim in the front center and also the top back flange to allow the trim to fold at the peak. See illustration

below.

OVERLAP TRIM AT LEAST 3”

MATCH THE LOWER END OF

THE TRIM WITH THE EDGE OF

THE ROOF SHEET METAL

PANEL.

GABLE TRIM TO BUILDING:

Install a bead of butyl caulk with protective paper to the under side edge of the back trim flange. The paper will be removed

before you install screws. Place the folded piece of gable trim at the peak of the building as shown. Keep the trim square to

the building and attach the trim to every other rib on the front or back sheet metal panels. Insert additional pieces of trim on

both sides of the building, overlapping the trim at least 3”, until you get to the lower edge of the roof panels. The trim should

be flush with the lower edge of the roof panels. You may have to cut the last section of trim to fit. With the trim screwed to

the front sheet metal, now remove the paper from the butyl caulk and press the back flange of the trim to the roof panel.

Keep the trim square with the building. Install screws through the flange and roof panel into the roof purlins (hat channels).

Repeat on the other end of the building.
