Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Use saddle flashing where water would otherwise pond against a chimney or wall; the 14 in. length suits typical residential details. Verify the site dimensions before ordering, and integrate it under shingles and behind counter flashing for a watertight assembly.

Metal flashing edges are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when cutting and installing.
