How to install stand and seam metal roofing. While installing standing seam metal panels there are two basic ways to trim the gables of your roof. You can use a special gable trim or a regular drip edge. Each length of roofing sheet metal called a pan must be bent up at the edges to make seams. To finish off each end cut along the bends and fold the top plane down 90 degrees toward the eave trim and cut other flaps flush.

When measuring the metal pans be sure to account for seams at ridges and ends. Some manufacturers have roofing systems that require a minimum of 3 12 roof slope for standing seam installations. Place the first panel with overlap leg along the alignment line. In cold weather slide the panels tight against the eave flashing and in warm weather allow a gap for expansion.
