Roof drip edges are generally sold in 10.5-foot lengths, but they are occasionally sold in 8-foot lengths or smaller. The length of the overhang itself commonly ranges from 2 to 5 inches.Click to see full answer. Similarly one may ask, what size does drip edge come in?Drip edge varies in dimensions but typically the flange that nails to the roof surface is about 2.5″ wide and the vertical edge that directs roof runoff down and away is about 1.5″ in depth. Lengths of drip vary but typically it’s sold in ten foot lengths (120″).Likewise, how do you speed up drip edge? Roof drip edge flashing corner detail Install roof drip edge along the eaves, add underlayment, then place drip edge along the gable end. The best way is to install the roof drip edge only along the eaves first, then place ice-and-water barrier (in the snowbelt) or felt paper (underlayment) over the drip edge. One may also ask, do you nail drip edge? Nail the drip edge to the roof deck with minimum 12-gage roofing nails spaced 8 to 10-inches on center and 1-½ to 3-inches from the edge of the sheathing. Adjacent drip edge pieces should be lapped minimum 2 inches. Asphalt shingles should overhang the exterior edge of the drip edge by ¼ to ¾-inch.Should shingles extend past drip edge?Yes. Shingles should not extend more than 3/4” (19 mm) past the drip edge. If shingles overhang the edge of the roof by more than 3/4” (19 mm), then they are not supported and may crack and break off. In addition, the wind resistance at the roof edge may be compromised.
