Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Build the cricket framing first, then wrap it with this zinc-alum stock, lapping pieces from the bottom of the saddle upward so water never runs under a joint. The 6 x 14 size gives more vertical coverage for larger saddles or steeper pitches. Zinc-alum offers good weather resistance while staying workable to bend on site.
Use fall protection and proper ladder setup when working on roofs, and wear gloves when handling cut metal.
