Plunge Cut Roof Overhang

At the edges and joints and 12 in.

Plunge cut roof overhang.

I have a 2 overhang all the way around the house it s a very small house so the overhang makes it look even smaller and kind of ugly. The tin was just recently replaced so removing it is not an option. With a flat shed roof the roof simply extends past the wall plate to provide an overhang. The roof is new and so is the house only about a year old.

Deep plunge cut on each side of the post. The amount of desired roof overhang determines where you cut the rafter tails when finishing out this roof area. I have a customer that i am doing some work for on a pool house. Is it possible to cut back the roof overhang without having to re roof.

Make successively deeper 1 in. The overhangs on the gable ends were cut off rigid insulation added to the top photograph 6 and then the overhangs rebuilt as box beams photograph 7. When you nail sheathing on the gable end and overhang take special care not to miss the rafters. A common nailing schedule for a roof is 6 6 12 6 in.

I need to cut 1 foot off of a 2ft overhang in order to add a shed roof under the overhang. Overhangs play a role in directing rainfall. The soffits are boxed in which also is very ugly. An eave is the roof edge s underside and it may be open or enclosed with soffit creating a horizontal plane giving the eave a finished look.

The size of the roof overhang you choose depends largely on the style of your shed s roof. So i want to know if there is a way to cut back the overhang to about 16 or maybe even a little more and not have to re roof and if so how. Then the box beams were trimmed out photograph 8 and a double frieze board installed to hide the increase in roof thickness without requiring redoing the gable end siding photograph 9. To begin cutting out the old floor mark the size of the new footing and cut the outline with a circular saw fitted with a diamond masonry blade.

I would like to cut it back to about 16 all the way around or at least on the gable ends of the roof this is were it looks like overkill. Because this style of a shed has a flat roof it can facilitate a wider overhang which is ideal for storage. Start by making a 1 in.
