1. A method of protecting a projecting curved surface, comprising the following steps:
a. selecting a flashing that includes a metal body with a top flange member and a intermediate flange member, said top flange member including a plurality of slits formed thereon that enable said intermediate flange member to be bent over a projecting curved surface in a direction opposite said top flange member, said flashing including a layer of flexible flashing material bonded over the inside and outside surfaces of said top flange member that covers said slits;
b. positioning said top flange surface adjacent to a wall surface perpendicularly aligned with a curved surface;
c. bending said intermediate flange member over said curved surface, said bending movement causing said slits on said top flange member to widen;
d. securing said flashing over said curved surface; and,
e. attaching exterior wall boards over said top flange member, and said flexible flashing material located thereon to prevent sunlight exposure of said flexible flashing material.
