Another video from our longer series where we will be highlighting Historical Preservation Details in Standing Seam.

The “Boxed Eave” or “Eaves Tail” detail is commonly seen on historical metal roofs that date back to the earlier part of the 20th century. It is simple to install and it gives the roof a geometric feel that complements farmhouses and many other buildings.

Our full video series will be covering:

  • Rake Cleat and Rake Flashing installation
  • Pipe Jacks / Pipe Flashing
  • Double Seamed Valleys
  • Double Seamed Ridges
  • Cross Seams
  • Boxed Eaves Style

Some of these details may be helpful to expand your knowledge and skills in this trade. We hope you find the videos valuable.

As always, feel free to comment below with your reactions to the video. Thanks for watching!
