A small roof of the shape indicated in Fig. 1 may be covered as shown in Fig. 2, which is a section across one roll at A - B (Fig. 1); Fig. 3 is a section on C - Dot the end roll showing apron to weather the joint to brick at the gable end; and Fig. 4 a section on E -F showing the eaves dripping into a zinc gutter. In section Fig. 2, G is a tack or clip about 2| in. to 3 in. wide, H the stand-up of the bay, J the roll cap, and K a fork or pointed strip with one end soldered to the under side of roll cap. On sliding the latter into its position, the loose end of the fork passes under the clip G and thus forms an invisible fixing. The top ends of the bays are turned up against a ridge roll which has a capping similar to A - B. If the ridge roll stands up about 1 1/2 in. to 2 in. above the others, the saddle pieces shown at L (Fig. 1) are unnecessary. For fixing the eaves gutter, bridging pieces of zinc tube are soldered in, and through these long screws are passed for fixing to the ends of the boards, or to a fascia board if one is used.
