What can I use to cover the endcuts of siding on a gazebo covered in siding.?

Question

Manufacturers make edge trim in 90 degree angles - what can I use on an octogon gazebo with 45 degree angles?

Answer 1

If the siding is vinyl you can use an outside vinyl corner post, but you must flatten it to match the 45 degree angle.

If the siding is wood horizonal or shakes they make an aluminum cap that fits each siding board and tucks up under the upper one.

Answer 2

Cut the opposing boards at that angle so that they meet as a claen joint.

Use a set of hand breaks to open the factoy cover to the proper angle.

The mfg will also have the correct angle pre-formed for purchase.

Answer 3
