Abstract:
A structurally robust roof drip edge system including a tail and an outer section contiguous with the tail. The tail includes a locally thin section nailable to a roof substrate. The outer section includes a bridging member connecting an inner footing and an outer footing. The outer footing includes a drip edge profile for directing the flow of water off of a roof. The inner footing is spaced from the outer footing by a suitable distance and configured to be placed against an eave as a positioning aid such that the drip edge can easily and reliably be installed with sufficient spacing for the installation of a fascia board behind the drip edge profile. The drip edge may be bendable to a user-selectable angle between the tail and the outer section to accommodate a range of roof pitches.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of installing a drip edge on a roof substrate, the method comprising:\n providing a drip edge comprising a tail and an outer section having an inner footing, an outer footing, and a channel disposed between the inner footing and the outer footing; placing the drip edge against the roof substrate such that a bottom surface of the tail is adjacent and substantially parallel to an upper surface of the roof substrate and an inward-facing surface of the inner footing abuts a side-facing surface of the roof substrate; attaching the tail to the roof substrate by placing one or more mechanical fasteners through the tail and a portion of the roof substrate; and installing a fascia board within the channel.
