Been researching this quite a bit, seems there are two options:
My b uilding is a 10X12 with an 11-12 pitch, with rafters spanning 5' 11 1/4".
I would like to have exposed eaves and rakes, the rafter tails are already overhanging by 12" and I'd like to do a 12" overhang on the gables.
Is my only option to frame some 2X4 lookouts, notched through the end gable rafter? Or, can the OSB support the 12" overhang, simply by dangling, and have the top of the rafter face nailed into the end grain of the ridge board?
Also, if I cover up the end of the ridge with my overhang rafters, won't that mess up the way the sheathing lies? Assuming all the other rafter butt to the ridge, leaving a square top? ....
Thanks.
