![]() ![]() ![]() This is often accomplished by bending the panels (either horizontal or vertical panels) over the gable and into a channel that has its outer part lower than the roof deck. The only solution to flared gables when the ridge is wider than the eave is a flashing method that allows water and debris running down the roof to fall safely off of the flared gable and not be trapped in any sort of water channel. This is the case no matter whether the ridge or the eave is the wider part. Another consideration with flared gables occurs with horizontally-run metal roofing systems and is that, due to the angle that is created when the ends of the courses are cut, any standard “single course” gable caps will no longer work because they will not be long enough. If the gable flashing traps this water and debris, problems will eventually occur. When the ridge is wider than the eave, everything that runs down the roof above the flared area will end up running into or off of the gable. ![]() In most cases, this is done with the ridge wider than the eave though, in rare instances, it can be the other way around.įlared gables are a common feature on chalet and rustic homes that might often be subject to heavy snowloads. Some roofs are constructed with flared gables. ![]()
