Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose 28 gauge galvanized drip edge when you want stiff, durable edging that resists wind uplift at the eave. Install eave edge before underlayment at the eave per common practice, lap joints at least a couple of inches, and fasten every 8-12 in. with ring-shank or appropriate roofing nails. Pair with gutter apron style edging where gutters are present for the cleanest water hand-off.
Drip edge edges can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting and handling, and follow roof work fall-protection practices.
Add TopShield Steel C55 Drip Edge to your roof for a crisp, water-shedding eave line.
