How to wrap a chimney on a metal roof.

Place corner pieces where panels will meet bends at the edge of the roofing. A very cost effective but a long lasting solution to take care of a chimney. Firstly remove all of the duct tape and put them in a disposable garbage bag. This will compromise the rest of the chimney structure.

If there are gutters installed on the eaves the eave flashing should be installed to overhang the lip of the gutter by about 1 2 inch. The chimney crown is cracked. The easiest way is to wrap it with a membrane. Remember that all chimney flashings need to be masked off prior to applying the sealer.

Place the chimney where it would be related to the stove and mark the center of the chimney on the ceiling. Leaving the duct tapes lying on the roof especially if it is windy will increase your cleanup job later. Drill a small hole in this spot to mark the chimney s center. When a chimney does not have to be aesthetically pleasing then wrapping it with a rubber membrane will be the most inexpensive way to seal it.

Use 1 1 4 inch nails to cover the outline of the roof with strips of metal eave flashing also called edging. Using a compass draw out the chimney s diameter.
