Why patio roofs fail - and how to build them right!
What happens here
After installing the rafters, mark the rafter tails for uniform length at the eave. Use a chalk line to create a straight line across all the rafter tails, then cut them cleanly with a circular saw. Next, install the fascia board along the outer edge of the rafter tails. Ensure the fascia is perfectly flush with the top and bottom edges of the rafters to provide a clean aesthetic and proper support for subsequent roofing materials.
Goal: Finish the rafter ends and install the fascia board for structural integrity and aesthetics.
