This is a fairly common roof detail.

How to roof different roof transition.

This video shows how to install slope transition trim with standing seam panels. See the illustration below. Pitch transitions are a common roof detail. We re going to install it over top of the panels that have already been installed on the lower slope.

This allows water to flow off the upper panels out over the trim onto the lower panels and exits the roof at the eaves. The roof plane goes from one pitch to a lower pitch. Run the sail material to the roofing with several inches to spare use some 6 rolled metal flashing so this is 1 price. After a taking some measurements and doing a bit of ciphering we established that the steepest pitch we could use on the porch roof was 4 in 12.

The following is similar to a membrain that i did on my current home transition it has been dry for 3 winters so far. We wanted to make the porch roof as steep as possible while keeping the peak of the roof below the wall to roof intersection at the top of the shed roof. Slide the right edge of the flashing under the highest roof pitch. The piece that allows us to join the two different slopes is the pitch transition trim.

We see this quite frequently in log home roofs with porches for example. Place the 2 by 4 inch piece of lumber along the center of the flashing.
