What's the best design out there for how the fascia board gets secured onto rafters and then the gutter install?
I've seen stringers into the rafter board, but now there is something new with clips and screws that go directly into the rafters themselves vice just the fascia board?
Anybody have a cross section layout of an ideal install?
I have always used a 2x piece of framing as a continuous sub fascia nailed to ends of rafters/trusses shimming it straight with the roof rake angle cut on top,then roof sheathing. it can all be done from the roof side and gives you a flat tru surface for trim to nail to and your gutters can be fastened anywhere. also gives a continuous nailing edge for soffit :thumbsup:
not the way most people frame/build because they dont have that solid piece of wood behind the trim board, in which case fastening into rafter/truss is a must
There's a solid piece of 2x6, I believe, and instead of being painted, there's like a white plastic cover over the fascia board.
