shed metal roof install

hgut · Nov 1, 2017

On a single slope shed roof, do you think 3" sheet overhang on the top and bottom would be ok? Or to much? I can get the 14' sheet in stock, if i go with less overhang I would have to special order. Not planning on putting gutter on, thanks for any opinions

Yes, 3" overhang would be just fine.

If it's too much you can always cut it.

perfectly fine up to 5" or 6" without extra support double screw between ribs on top and bottom

Leaning a ladder against it may be a problem bending longer overhangs unless precautions are made. Two inches was about it for me.

I just measured the shed overhang, it is 6.5 inches.
