Hey!
I'm building a garage with A-trusses. On construction drawings for similar structures, I've seen something like the red in my amateurishly drawn paint picture to hold the insulation. What do you do there, do you put a sheet (are there such sheets, or do you go to the sheet metal shop and special order?), or a board, or how do you solve it? I suspect it becomes a generally bad construction if the insulation slides out of the eaves and partly blocks the ventilation, and partly no longer insulates the roof...
 
  • Drawing of garage roof with A-truss, showing potential insulation barrier in red to prevent sagging and block ventilation at the eaves.
My insect net came down right there on my construction site, so I attached the net to the rafters with a standing piece of roof batten and then placed a piece of masonite against these, between the wall plate and the masonite to the roof ventilation gap.

Solved

Hmm, masonite. It should work with just a masonite piece..
 
there are special cardboard pieces you can bend there for the air gap
