Gable end roof overhang framing.
There are several methods of making connections.
This will be most.
Wide especially when the eave overhang is less than 12 in.
Inadequate nailing of the sheathing to supporting framing or inadequate connections of the framing at the rake edge that supports the roof.
After the end points of the plates are located the length is found using a base 1 triangle for a 6 in 12 pitch where the hypotenuse is 1 118 times the length of the base.
That rafter outside forms the overhang for the barge boards to fix to and so the soffit boards and ventilation are continuous all the way around the structure.
This can be from two causes.
Then load bearing roof beams fixed to the trusses are extended in the same way.
Uplift of roof decking at the overhang the other common wind related failure at gable ends is uplift of the roof decking at the overhang.
When designing a gable end eave without a return the dimensions to look at are the width of the trim set between 6 in.

After the gable is framed lookouts extend from the first rafter inside the gable wall out over the plates to support the overhanging barge rafter.
Gable end overhangs need to be well connected to the wall below.
A rake on the gable end of the roof can be created with the construction of additional roof framing.
Avoid gable ends that are over 8 in.
Thick and the overhang from the side wall set between 12 in.
Gable end overhangs constructed using the ladder detail.
