Metal Flashing Over Exterior Wood Beam


The video discusses the importance of using metal flashing to protect wood beams that protrude from the building. It also highlights several issues with the existing installation, including the lack of flashing extending under the fascia board and the potential for water to accumulate and damage the wood.

They also emphasize the need for metal flashing on top of stucco columns to prevent water absorption.

Bonus tips:

Consider using a thicker wood beam, such as a 12"x10", for added strength and durability.

Seal any gaps between the metal flashing and other materials with caulk to prevent water infiltration.

Regularly inspect the flashing and surrounding areas for signs of damage or wear.

Hire a qualified contractor to install or repair metal flashing to ensure proper installation and prevent future problems.
