DECK BOARDS As Siding?! - INSANE Backyard Pt 8

What happens here

To create a robust water barrier above the window, a piece of metal drip edge flashing is measured and cut. The flashing is notched and bent to form a corner piece at each end, allowing it to wrap around the window frame. This precise fabrication with tin snips ensures that water is effectively shed away from the window opening and over the composite cladding below. The flashing is then carefully installed above the window, fitting snugly over the top of the window frame.

Tools and materials

  • Measuring Tape
  • Metal Drip Edge Flashing
  • Speed Square (or similar bending aid)
  • Tin Snips

What they say

all right so we we are using these decorators boards as cladding it's a little bit of an untraditional way of siding a house so I'm going to show you how I went about with a drip edge flashing for on top of our windows so the first thing I do I'm going to show you some bends I like to do for the corner to start so that detail is going to go like that so that first Bend bends back and then overlaps then I'll come over here and Mark where my end is add 3/4 to that
