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 22):
A method of manufacturing an integrally formed drip edge, the method comprising:\n obtaining a metal sheet defined by a length and a width shorter than the length, the width extending between a first lengthwise edge and a second lengthwise edge opposite the first lengthwise edge; bending the metal sheet lengthwise at a first location spaced from the first lengthwise edge along the width by a first distance corresponding to an inner footing length of the drip edge; bending the metal sheet lengthwise at a second location between the first location and the second lengthwise edge, the second location spaced from the first location along the width by a second distance corresponding to a tail width of the drip edge; bending the metal sheet lengthwise at a third location between the second location and the second lengthwise edge, the third location spaced from the second location along the width by the second distance; bending the metal sheet lengthwise at a fourth location between the third location and the second lengthwise edge, the fourth location spaced from the third location along the width by a third distance corresponding to a channel width of the drip edge; and bending the metal sheet lengthwise at a fifth location between the fourth location and the second lengthwise edge, the fifth location spaced from the fourth location along the width by a fourth distance corresponding to an outer footing length of the drip edge.
