Eave flashing is installed before the standing seam panels and after the metal roofing underlayment.

Eave trim with bullnose drip edge is a simpler installation that requires less parts than a traditional eave with joggle cleat. The bullnose functions as the joggle cleat.

You should NOT use this if:

1. Your roof pitch is greater than 6" in 12"
2. You have a gutter condition

There are three reasons in which you would use this type of eave vs a bullnose:

1. Roof pitch greater than 6" in 12"
2. You have a gutter condition
3. Personal preference
