Mono-pitched roof, construct a roof truss at the eaves

[Derbyboy]

do you place beams as support for the facade between the roof beams then?

I mean, I don't want to end the facade at the roof beams, my first thought was oh then I'll have a gap under the roof of 145 mm. But of course, you often cover the eaves, i.e., hide that gap.

You mean like this and then cover the eaves (found the picture online).

(I think it will look bulky in my case. The wall is only 195 cm high.)

The reason for cutting vertically (up into the roof rafter) is not only to make the eave smaller (and raise the facade) but also because it facilitates the horizontal cut (to align the underboards) since I only have a 5-6 degree angle on the roof.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of "gnawing" on the roof rafter to achieve the horizontal cut...

I have only lifted the panel past the last nail batten as high as needed. There is no support behind between the roof trusses.

There won't be much of an eave. The roof beam in the picture is 389 cm. The sheet is 400 cm. When I've mounted the eave board, the sheet sticks out about 10 cm.

I really don't know if I can be bothered to notch out every straight beam (as I described above). There are 17 straight beams (cc 30).
