Shed Roof Soffit Detail

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.

Shed roof soffit detail.

Install a soffit double channel lineal or h bar. It can be made of metal. 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. Nailing strips may be required.

The regulations allowed a storage shed to be built in the side yard backyard or in the rear setback. The fascia boards and soffit material installation is very important. Henry shows you how to do this in great detail and get perfect results. 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.

A brow roof is a narrow roof attached to the wall at the level of the first floor ceiling. 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. A stick framed roof uses 2x4 s or 2x6 s or whatever you are framing with but has a ridge board running down the middle ridge line. In this video he shows you how to use his exclusive jig to make it easy to install long trim without any help.

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. But never over the septic field. Metal soffit is installed in much the same manner. 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. Don t forget to cut the ends of each board to the appropriate angle to allow them to fit together at the peak. 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. This is how i did my pole barn workshop and at the end of the video i also show.

Sometimes the rafter will have a tail and extend out past the wall so that you have a soffit or overhang. They are essentially mini roofs designed to protect each storey of the home individually. Brow roofs are found on multi storey homes.
