How do you make it look nice with the sheets in the corner where it becomes a 90-degree angle on a pent roof? Does anyone have pictures or a description of how to cut?

Where will it be 45°? How to proceed depends on what the sheet looks like and simply what you think looks best.

In the corner where the long side meets the short side on a pitched roof sorry I mean 90 degrees

In my world, shed roofs consist of 4x 90° unless the roof slope is 45°.

One solution is to start from the bottom and cut so that the ridge caps fit well against the corner with about 5cm extra on the outside (cutting off the drip edge) and then fold it around the corner. Then meet with the metal sheet on the "ridge" so that it fits well. Focus on making it look nice on the outside, as that's what is visible.

You mean that I fold the drip edge which is on the outside around the corner and meet it with the ridge sheet?

Is there hardware available to buy if you want, or do as described above?

Who sells it? Does the fitting have a nickname?

There are quite a few variables for me to provide a definitive answer, but the idea is to cut away what's needed on the top side so that the outside extends 5cm past the corner. Then fold the outside so you can overlap and hook into the upper sheet on the outside and tidy up with a diagonal cut on the top side.

(have done this and other methods hundreds of times but never explained in writing)

Ok I think I understand, will have to try it out
