Continuing with my re-roofing project, I have a valley (actually two) between a 14:12 gable and a 8:12 hip. As a DIY, I had planned to do a metal valley, but also considering doing a weave. The old roof used a woven valley, though alternating each side instead of 2 rows of lower slope per each on the gables as depicted in Taunton’s roofing manual (can’t remember the title). The valley ‘ends’ not at an eave, but where the hip roofline continues (the gable eave is higher than the hip eave).
So if I do a metal valley, do you end the valley flashing on top of the hip shingles below the vallley line? Wouldn’t those shingles suffer ‘granular erosion?’ Might I be better off attempting the weave?
Thanks.

Not sure I understand what you are saying about the metal.
Weave is dead wrong for a multi-pitch.
If you do without the metal, a lapped valley is the way to do it. Run all th eshingles on the lower pitch across the valley, then lay the steeper pitch across them and cut to line

I would definately use metal in those valleys .
The same amount of water will be flowing down this area no matter what technique you choose for valley construction .
Howdy - I noticed you weren't posting online for a few days while the weather was nice for a change. Work around the clock to catch up for those three weeks of rain?

Yup , working a lot , but not catching up much .
Heading to Vinalhaven on the first boat Monday to do a job I quoted 3 years ago !
I'll get a lot of requests for work to be done while I'm over there so I'll fall a bit further behind over there too .
Hadn't been too many threads that interested me lately either .
