How to flash a curving roof edge?
I have a roof that has curves in plan and is also slightly domed. The edge curves both in and out (convex and concave). Does anyone have any experience with how to finish the roof edge for such a roof?
If I use metal flashing, should I solder lots of small pieces to fit the curve, or use something soft like lead, making pleats to follow the curve, or use copper, and hammer a short top edge over a front face? I want to go two or three inches down the front, and min. 4”, preferably 8 inches at the top under the roof finish.
I think a mastic and then a liquid-applied edge would look neater, and be less lumpy, but what material would withstand having tall heavy ladders bounced (ever so gently) against it?
