Shed Roof Soffit Detail

This is how i did my pole barn workshop and at the end of the video i also show.

Shed roof soffit detail.

In this video he shows you how to use his exclusive jig to make it easy to install long trim without any help. Henry shows you how to do this in great detail and get perfect results. Here s how to frame a boxed soffit on the eave and gable end of a building. Install a soffit double channel lineal or h bar.

Nail half on the roof 5 25 and leave half 5 25 hanging over the roof edge and placing the last cut piece of smartvent over the fabric but even with shingle gable edge. They are essentially mini roofs designed to protect each storey of the home individually. Sometimes the rafter will have a tail and extend out past the wall so that you have a soffit or overhang. Complete the smartvent end of the run by installing the end fabric at the shingle edge by folding one side over to make a 6 x 10 5 piece of fabric.

Metal soffit is installed in much the same manner. The fascia boards and soffit material installation is very important. A brow roof is a narrow roof attached to the wall at the level of the first floor ceiling. Nailing strips may be required.

The regulations allowed a storage shed to be built in the side yard backyard or in the rear setback. If you must vent the shed roof the most workable fully vented roof assembly is the icehouse roof in which a first layer of sheathing is roofed with 15 felt or a waterproofing membrane and flashed tightly to the wall. The last pieces to go in were nailing blocks above the ledger for the back of the return and at the bottom edge of the soffit for attaching the rake 20. Brow roofs are found on multi storey homes.

Also the maximum height of a shed measured from ground level to the highest peak of the roof is set at 14 and must never exceed the height of the house. To turn a corner measure from the channel at the wall corner to the channel at the corner of the fascia board subtract 1 4 inch for expansion. It can be made of metal. Before the roof sheathing goes on the open framing provides easy access for attaching the return blocking and the nailers for the rake soffit.

This is the finishing part of the shed. If you re planning on building a gable roof with a pitch of 4 12 for a shed that s 200 inches 510 cm wide your rafter boards would need to be 105 3 inches 267 cm long on each side. But never over the septic field.
