Should Roof Sheathing Overhang Fascia

Put that up first.

Should roof sheathing overhang fascia.

I ve trimmed my roof sheathing to run between 5 8 and 3 4 over the sub fascia. Measure up the rafter 45 3 4 inch from the cut end of the truss tail and snap a line along the trusses. Make sure it is square level etc. The roof sheathing comes down and ends on top of the 1 x fascia.

Use your speed square on the fascia board and run the sheathing down to that. The drip edge should be installed over a piece of 1 2 furring strip so that it stands off from the fascia or rafter tails. Then i do a metal drip edge to cover it all. A shed roof overhang is something most homeowners don t think about until their standing in the rain trying to get the door unlocked or fretting about all the water that s suddenly pooling around the shed s foundation.

Building a shed roof with an overhang is an important part of protecting your shed and thus should not be overlooked. This indicates the upper edge of the first row of roof sheathing leaving enough overhang that the subfascia and fascia will tuck neatly underneath when the time comes. Now that i ve modeled what i was. Don t overhang the sheathing at all.

The fascia is the wide board that s installed on edge and runs horizontally along the edge of the roof. This is to just enough to cover the 3 4 x6 actual fascia. Use 2x6 for fascia board. Fascia and soffits finish the edges of roofs by covering the ends of the roof rafters or roof trusses where they overhang the sides of the house.

Just like this pic except on the end of the rafters just the grey colored fascia get rid of that yellow block they are showing behind the fascia. If not whatever you decide to use to cover the sub fascia aluminum cap plowed cedar hardi trim board.
