Abstract:
A customizable roof drip edge system includes an inner footing, an outer section, and a tail integrally formed with the inner footing and the outer section. The tail is nailable to a roof substrate. The outer section includes a bridging member connecting the tail to an outer footing. The bridging member and the outer footing are configured 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 after installation of the drip edge. The drip edge may be bendable to user-selectable angles between the tail and the inner footing and outer section to accommodate a range of roof pitches.

Claim (Index 23):
The method of  claim 22 , wherein, after bending, the portion of the metal sheet between the first lengthwise edge and the first location comprises an inner footing, the portion of the metal sheet between the first location and the second location comprises a lower layer of a tail, the portion of the metal sheet between the second location and the third location comprises an upper layer of the tail adjacent to the lower layer, the portion of the metal sheet between the third location and the fourth location comprises a bridging member, the portion of the metal sheet between the fourth location and the fifth location comprises an outer footing defining a c-shaped channel with the bridging member and the inner footing, and the portion of the sheet metal between the fifth location and the second lengthwise edge comprises an angled section.
