So the point of drip edge is to cause water to drop off the edge of this piece of metal and not run down the side of your building. If you install it flush against your facia the surface tension of the water will actually go around that drip edge and connect to your facia and drip down your shed walls. Drip edge should be installed with a finger gap behind (1/2") it so that there is no way water can use surface tension to bridge that 1/2" gap and it will be forced to drip off. Here is a great video from This old House showing the two methods and how each one works ua-cam.com/video/UvLpM_MZB8M/v-deo.html
I’ve seen it done both ways. The roofing company that just roofed my house put it flush also and they are a 5 star rated and GAF certified roofing company
Thanks! I'm surprised too. I think it's because there are tons of shed videos out there. Once I get enough views and like it will move up on the search results.
Best way, searched so many youtubes to find something good. TY
Very welcome!
