Re: Deck Ledger Flashing

Neat looking. Same detail I've used for many years, but I always did a '2-piece. Looks nice.

I do too... that looks like a "cleaner" way of flashing versus a 2 piece. I am going to see if the local lumberyard will stock it...

Thanks for the info!

Re: Deck Ledger Flashing

Just looks like F-channel to me. For those of you that are unsure of how to bend it, just refer to your VSI manual

Re: Deck Ledger Flashing

straight runs would be fine
but turning corners it is nice to have layers overlaping in diffrent directions
just my thoughts
