Roof eaves detail.

Vinyl soffits are the portion under the roof eaves between the wall of your home and the edge of the roof. Removing vinyl soffits for replacement or repairs requires a helper to hold the ladder while you work. The eaves detail shows where the roof members and coverings meet the wall of the dwelling. The vinyl soffit uses no fasteners.

The wallplate is then used to secure the rafter to. 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. 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. 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. This first installment of a two part series focuses on eaves that do not return onto the gable. A roof eave protruding beyond the sides allows snow and rain to fall from the roof away from the siding to the ground.

The wallplate is secured to the internal wall separated by dpc. An eave can protect the siding and foundation of a structure.
