Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

D-style drip edge is a standard detail at eaves and rakes; pick the color that best matches your fascia or gutter since the edge line stays visible. Install it over the underlayment at eaves and beneath at rakes, fastening every 8 to 12 inches per common practice. Choose 28-ga stock like this for typical residential work where heavier gauge edge metal is not specified.

Galvanized drip edges have sharp cut edges; wear gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting.
