flashing for a metal roof

[woodchip]

I have a hip roof porch that covers the whole front of my house and comes out from the wall. It has down slopes at each end with a hiorizontal portion in the middle, as you face the front. Shouldn't flashing for a metal roof that intersects a wall, come down from behind the siding and be on top of the metal roofing? I know how to do channel flashing on the down sloped sides, but what about the horizontal run

yeah, flashing should be behind siding and over metal. check out metal sale's website and look for a flashing called a "pitch break". this site has details of how it is installed. you can bend this yourself if you have access to a brake.
