Gutter Apron vs Drip Edge

samerickson89 · 07-27-23, 10:04 AM

I'm trying to waterproof my metal shed, and I'm having trouble understanding the difference between a drip edge and a gutter apron. I can see the physical difference in how they're shaped, but every single article I can find online only covers that. What I'm trying to figure out is the difference in how/why they're used, what the benefit is of one versus the other, etc.

Could someone please explain the difference to me? If needed, I can post pictures of my shed later. Thanks!
