Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Order the matching finished oval shake trim from the same Art’s Sheet Metal Mfg. profile so the base and trim seat together. Set the base in sealant or compatible flashing detail per the wall or roof system’s instructions. Verify the base metal and gauge with the manufacturer if a specific substrate is required.

Sheet-metal flashing edges can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and installing.
