Trimming windows on a pole building

Alan K · May 15, 2015

I have a pole building with 3 windows I would like to trim on the inside. Im lining it with steel. Ive seen some use just the "J" trim around the edges. I have some fascia trim pieces for the 2x6s. What have some of you done? Any pictures you can share?

Assuming you are trimming out the window jambs (sides) and the sills, the fascia cover will work fine, especially since you already have some. You might use a F-channel for that (FR-1)used for soffit and just flip it around. Can get it in vinyl or aluminum. Make sure to check the depth of the metal rib to make sure it will fit in the channel if a rib happens to fall along the window's edge - hopefully it will be in a flat. I pre-drill my holes with a 1/8" bit and also put a rubber cap (or masking tape) on the hammer head so it doesn't knock the paint off the trim nails and ripple the trim.

Thank you for your response. I will look into that.
