Hi all!
I'm building a new workshop 15m2, with a gable roof constructed of a 2x6 ridge board and 2x4 rafters. I'm attempting to create an overhang at the front of the shop, of 1.5ft. Unfortunately the ridge board doesn't cantilever pass the walls, as I built the shop around 4.8m long timbers. This means I've had to use blocking for the overhang, but now it's dropping a bit, maybe by 1.5cm at the end of the block in relation to the OSB I've got laid on the roof.
My question(s) is, if I put a 2x4 sub-fascia to the front of the blocking, and nail the OSB down, will the OSB be stiff enough to hold it up? A colleague at work suggested extending the ridge board by using a couple of steel bolts epoxied into the ridge board and an extension. That seems a bit overkill?
I'd like to thank everyone who posts on here (especially Mike) for their amazing posts which has got me this far!
