Metal Rake Trim: Gable Trim for Metal Roof & Wall Panel Systems

Every metal roof has two exposed gable ends, and that's usually where the elements test a build first. Wind-driven rain and blowing debris will work their way into any gap along that edge over time, which is exactly why metal roof rake trim exists in the first place.

Triple-S Steel® is the gable trim supplier that fabricators and builders turn to when they need trim that matches their panel profile and finish. We carry rake trim for both R Panel and MAX Rib Panel systems in standard sizes, and we fabricate custom sizes across our network of locations when your project calls for something different. Either way, most orders are in your hands within two to three days.

Let us help you close out that roofline right the first time.

Rake Trim We Fabricate for R Panel and MAX Rib Panel Roofs

Rake trim really comes down to a choice between two profiles, and which one you need depends on the look you're after and how much finish work the rest of the building calls for. When people ask about rake-trim metal roof options, they're usually deciding between something purely functional and something designed to look finished from the ground.

Here's what we carry for both roof systems, in standard sizes or built to your specs.

To sum it up: Sculptured rake trim gives you the finished, high-end gable look for a build where appearance matters, while standard rake trim gets the job done when budget or timeline is the priority. Either way, your gable trim metal roof edge is fabricated to complement the rest of the building.

Builders and property owners use metal roof gable trim anywhere a roof panel meets a gable end. Common applications include:

• Pole barns and post-frame buildings
• Steel and metal building construction
• Agricultural and equipment buildings
• Carports and covered storage
• Residential metal roof installs and re-roofs
• Commercial and industrial roof systems
• Warehouses and self-storage facilities
• Workshops, garages, and barndominiums

Whatever the structure, metal roofing gable trim is doing the same basic job, closing the gap where the roof panel ends and the wall begins, and keeping water from working its way underneath.

Triple-S Steel® has been a family-run metals business since 1960, and that becomes apparent in how we handle orders big and small. We carry rake trim in standard sizes and fabricate rake trim in-house from our locations in Houston, San Antonio, Knoxville, and Odessa, with most orders ready in two to three days, so you're not waiting weeks on a component you need now.

Because we fabricate in-house, we can match your rake trim to your exact panel type and finish rather than sending you a close approximation. That matters most when you're the customer with a specific dimension in mind. Our team can provide gable trim metal components to your building's actual length and profile.

We also make it easy to add the rest of your trim package, corner boxes and end caps included, to the same order, so your whole roofline comes from one supplier instead of three. Contact us or request a quote, and we'll help you get the right trim to your job site on your schedule.

What's the difference between sculptured rake trim and standard rake trim?

Sculptured rake trim has a stepped, folded profile that gives the gable end a finished, tailored look. Standard rake trim uses a simpler profile that does the same job of covering the panel edge, just without the extra detail. Most builders choose sculptured for anything customer-facing and standard for utility or budget-driven projects.

Can rake trim be custom fabricated to match my roof pitch?

Yes. Standard sizes cover most projects, but if yours calls for something different, we can fabricate rake trim to your length and roof pitch. Either way, most orders are ready in two to three days.

Does rake trim come in colors that match my roof panels?

Yes. We fabricate rake trim to complement your R Panel or MAX Rib Panel roof color, so your gable ends blend with the rest of the roof instead of standing out as a mismatched patch.

Is rake trim the same thing as gable trim?

Yes, rake trim and gable trim refer to the same component. It's the trim piece installed along the sloped edge of a gable roof where the panel meets the outside wall, and different manufacturers and regions just use different names for it.
