I have a glulam beam that goes into the roof fascia.
The hole needs to be covered with a sheet metal.
But how should the sheet metal be shaped?
It's far too little work to bring out a tinsmith (I've tried and got that response).
A tinsmith could bend a sheet metal if he had time and I described how it should look.
Certainly a very easy job, but my technical skills are lacking in this area, so I have to ask you
I am thinking of 2 U-shaped sheets.
One comes in from below and the other from above that overlaps the lower one.
A bit like the plastic I've placed in the picture.
You cannot completely cover a glulam beam with sheet metal, it will rot in 10-25 years. However, you can cover the top just like you do with bargeboards. The sheet metal should have a drip edge so water falls freely downward.
Sorry, there you can see what happens when using the wrong word.
So, I don't want to encase the entire glulam beam.
Where it goes into the roof ridge, I need to seal. There's about 1-2 cm between the glulam beam and the ends of the wood that make the roof ridge. I was told that sheet metal is needed, and some sealant underneath to seal it.
I'll see if I can change the main heading.
