TL;DR
Drip edge on shed roofs is the same eave and rake flashing used on houses, sized down for outbuilding framing, and it is the detail most often skipped on kit sheds and budget builds. Without it, runoff curls back under the first shingle course and wicks into the roof deck and top of the siding, which is why shed fascia boards rot first.
What it means
Drip edge on shed roofs is the same eave and rake flashing used on houses, sized down for outbuilding framing, and it is the detail most often skipped on kit sheds and budget builds. Without it, runoff curls back under the first shingle course and wicks into the roof deck and top of the siding, which is why shed fascia boards rot first. Retrofitting the metal under existing shingles is a quick, inexpensive fix during a re-roof or repair visit.
