Love the roof - how well does the steel roof "comb" at the hip ridges? - I like the traditional treatment of rolling or "combing" the metal roof panels together at the hip ridges on the porch roof, but noticed that the main ridges are not combed - is that for venting, or is it too hard to roll the steel roof panel at that ridge? Much thanks...Steve »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
However, there is a big drawback to using standing seam roofing for areas with harsh winter weather. "It sheds snow, leading to big piles of snow along eave sides and at valleys," Smith warns. "This needs to be taken into consideration when locating entries, walks, and plantings. When we do use standing seam for an entire house, such as this lake house in Vermont, we design to accommodate the snow issues and warn our clients!"
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Let Screen Doors Mesh With Your Style
2. Make it colorful. One of the great advantages of using wood for a screen door is that it can be painted as you'd like. So go ahead and paint the door the same color as the trim so the color ties all of that nice detail together.
