| What can I use to trim this gable end?
The roofers for the previous owner trimmed the gable end with 12" wide hardboard (Masonite), which of course completely rotted in a few years. The exposed siding is T-11 which leaves grooves behind the aluminum flashing. Not good. So they put thin board from the higher roof overlapping the flashing. It was a smooth, clean solution. I cannot find thin board that is PVC or composite. - The space tapers from 8" at the ridge to 10 1/2" at the eaves because of a slightly different roof pitch.
Some options I have considered

| I think if you used extra nails and sealant you could apply the same asphalt shingles to it and be done. Strips of grace Ice & water shield would be a good idea too, under the shingles. Look up shingling vertical surfaces. Casey |
