Roof eaves detail.

This first installment of a two part series focuses on eaves that do not return onto the gable. An eave can protect the siding and foundation of a structure. The three primary variables to consider when designing the eaves for a gable roof are the width of the gable trim the projection of the eaves and the details at the corner of the gable ends. The vinyl soffit uses no fasteners.

The further that the weather gets thrown away from the house the more likely you ll have a dry basement too. The next important aspect is to detail the eaves allowing adequate ventilation and simple methods to achieve this are indicated in figs. 8 23b allows any water which may have penetrated through the tile to run down the roof slope into the gutter in the normal manner. If a sprocketted or bell cast detail is used then eaves courses should be no lower than the minimum recommended roof pitch.

Instead the soffit fits in between two channels like a puzzle piece. The wallplate is then used to secure the rafter to. The cavity is closed with a proprietary cavity closer. The eaves detail shows where the roof members and coverings meet the wall of the dwelling.

A roof eave protruding beyond the sides allows snow and rain to fall from the roof away from the siding to the ground. Vinyl soffits are the portion under the roof eaves between the wall of your home and the edge of the roof.
