I am wondering how common and effective the solution of dropping the underlay in the eaves box is.
Does anyone have or have had this solution and has problems with it or alternatively had to redo it?
Or someone who thinks it works?
It's just the roof tiles that end over the gutter, the underlay/board ends about 5 cm before, inside the eaves box. (The roof board cannot reach the gutter because there is a standing board that the tiles lie on)
There is a roughly 3 cm wide gap (in the eaves box) directly under where the board ends that is netted.

It works well.
It should really depend largely on how good the outer roof is. If you have whole tiles (or whatever it is) that are well placed, ridge sealing against snow, etc., then there will be very little water that is likely to run down along the under-roof.
First and foremost, this is not something I know much about, but personally, I wouldn't worry too much if I discovered it on my house. I would try to see how it seems to function when it rains and when the snow melts in the spring, kind of.

Rain and snow are not the problem. When there is snow on the roof and it becomes warm and more humid in early spring, the moisture condenses on the underside of the metal/tiles.
Yes, I have a garage with that small construction flaw and it drips quite a bit in some places.
