How to attach small pergola to metal fascia

Hi All , I am planning to build small pergola to the side of my alfresco. Just wondering "How to attach small pergola to metal fascia"

Bunning video talks about the wood fascia to attach walling plate but what about metal fascia. As i understand i need to screw the plate with the roof rafters. But question is to locate the roof rafters behind the metal fascia?

Hi mate, 

Yeah that’s correct. I was limited by the gutter so I got them as close as possible but there was still about a 10mm gap between timber fascia and the gutter. 
I think some flashing on top would be the way it’d do it next time to close the gap.

Hi @trentp,

 

Thanks for your reply confirming there is a gap between the fascia and your pergola.
