    It's a fairly gentle curve, so the metal laid down over it without much trouble. If you have a tighter radius you have to get it rolled to the radius, but for something like this it's OK.

    I was concerned with the sides crinkling. Stainless steel screws I assume?

    You do have to cut your flashing carefully, but it works. I can't remember the hardware, sorry. It's installer per manufacturer specs...
