Improve Your Metal Roofing Skills
Metal Roof to Wall Transition – Using an angle bisector to create a “dogs ear” or “bread pan” fold to an exact roof pitch has advantages.
- No soldered or sealant joint to weaken or leak over time
- Determining and bending at the correct angle alleviates unnecessary stress on the metal fold
- This is a traditional forming method and is not unsightly. Can be used in places that can be viewed from the ground.
Tools used:
- Bevel (angle finder) – Definitely worth investing in a solid trusty bevel when working with copper details
- Bow Divider – The bow divider is essential for finding angle bisectors and scribing arcs
- Rau 116 Crimping Tool – The crimper starts pigs ear fold and moves the material in the right direction
- Deep Tongs – Wide range of jaw widths and throat depths. They will last a lifetime
