Gable End Roof Fascia

Thick and the overhang from the side wall set between 12 in.

Gable end roof fascia.

Most houses have fascia running along all of the eaves the overhangs at the bottom of the roof. When designing a gable end eave without a return the dimensions to look at are the width of the trim set between 6 in. The rake can be flat with no overhang or it can overhang the gable end like an eave. The overhanging rake then is closed in with soffit and fascia or left open.

At the right of the roof along the gable end we see more drip edge being used to flash the roof gable end fascia trim and roof edge. Without gable rake flashing protection wind driven rain can begin to rot the fascia and roof deck. Soffits appear anywhere a roof extends beyond the walls by more than a few inches. A roof rake may be intricately designed.

It s the face the part of the roofline you see when you re standing in the yard. I prefer to install the gable drip edge under the felt though that detail is less critical than at the lower roof edge or eaves. The rake is not exactly on the roof. To 18 in depending on the style of the building.

Wide especially when the eave overhang is less than 12 in. Fascia is trim that runs along the eaves from end to end. Avoid gable ends that are over 8 in. The fascia covers the gables and ends of the roof rafters and builders usually consider it part of the siding trim.

It is a term that describes the sloped sides of a gable end. It progresses horizontally and turns 90 degrees on the angled or gabled end and runs diagonally to the peak of the roof. Roof fascia boards are not structurally important for a roof but they are often essential to the overall appearance of the house.
