Draw your exact ridge cap, eave trim, rake trim, base angle, and transition flashings on a precision grid — get an instant freight-inclusive price and order fabricated trim without calling the shop.
Metal building erectors deal with large footage runs, multiple trim types, and tight installation schedules. The paper-and-phone ordering process is a bottleneck your schedule can't afford.
A 400-foot ridge cap order with wrong dimensions is a costly re-order and a missed building completion date. Specs have to be right the first time.
Long trim bundles ship freight — and the cost swings significantly based on footage and pallet size. You need that number to close a bid accurately.
Managing quotes for ridge cap, eave trim, rake, base angle, and endwall trim across multiple vendors wastes time and creates coordination risk.
When the building manufacturer's standard trim doesn't match site conditions, getting a custom profile quoted and fabricated can take a week or more.
Trimgy gives metal building erectors a professional drawing tool that produces unambiguous fabrication specs — and instant pricing with freight included.
Draw ridge caps, eave trims, and rake trims to exact dimensions — leg lengths, angles represented as segments, and hem folds — all snapped to 1/4-inch precision.
Enter 100, 500, or 2,000 linear feet. Price scales instantly with your quantity. Gauge and Kynar coating options update material cost in real time.
Trimgy's freight engine calculates pallet size based on your footage and gets a real LTL rate to your zip — so your bid includes accurate delivered cost.
Draw every trim type for a building in one project — ridge, eave, rake, base, corner — and check out together. One order, one shipment, one tracking number.
When the job needs a profile that the building manufacturer doesn't stock, draw it yourself and order it direct. No waiting for the manufacturer's custom lead time.
Save a common ridge cap or base trim profile once. Reuse it on the next building — just update the footage and reorder.
From standard building trim to non-standard transition flashings, Trimgy handles any profile you can define in straight-line segments.
A metal building erector needs custom eave trim that bridges a non-standard gap between the wall panel and the eave strut — the manufacturer's standard trim doesn't fit.
Sketch the custom profile on-site, email to the sheet metal shop
Wait 3–5 days for a quote — shop wants clarification on the return depth
Re-send with dimensions, wait again. Finally get a price — freight not included
Call freight broker for LTL on 600 LF of trim — another day. Building sits idle
Draw the custom eave trim profile: 6" face, 3" top flat, 1.5" return leg — all on the grid
Select 24 ga. Galvalume, enter 600 LF — instant material price
Enter delivery zip — LTL freight on 4-foot pallet automatically calculated
Check out — fabrication drawing transmitted, order confirmed
Building stays on schedule. Custom trim ordered in 15 minutes, no phone calls.
Pre-engineered metal buildings use a full range of custom sheet metal trim: ridge cap, eave trim (rake and gutter trim), rake trim (corner trim at the gable end), base angle (or base trim at the foundation), inside and outside corner trim, framed opening trim (doors and windows), roof-to-wall flashings, soffit panels, and transition flashings where building modules connect. Most of these are brake-formed and are either supplied by the building manufacturer or sourced separately when the manufacturer's trim lead times are too long.
Yes. Metal building erectors frequently source trim separately when the building manufacturer's trim lead times extend the project schedule, when replacement trim is needed for a damaged piece, or when the color match is close enough but not tied to the manufacturer's specific coil. Trimgy allows you to draw any profile to exact dimensions and select from Kynar-painted colors that match most major metal building manufacturers' standard palettes.
Standard metal building trim is typically 26 gauge Galvalume or Kynar-painted steel for light trim (base angle, window trim, drip edge) and 24 gauge for heavier trim (ridge cap, eave strut, corner trim). The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) Metal Building Systems Manual notes that trim and accessory specifications are set by the individual manufacturer; field-ordered replacement trim should match the original gauge and coating for aesthetic and durability consistency.
For standard Galvalume or Kynar-painted steel trim in 24–26 gauge, fabrication typically takes 2–5 business days. LTL freight adds 1–7 business days depending on distance. Total door-to-door lead time is typically 5–12 business days for standard materials. This compares favorably to metal building manufacturer trim lead times, which the MBMA notes typically run 2–4 weeks from order confirmation.
