How to extend a flat roof?

IMG20250218121703-EDIT.jpg

Hi all,

Working on a flat roof extension for a large undercover deck (not enclosed).

What would you call this end beam?
Its a 200x63 LVL tying all of the rafters together.

Secondly, how would you go about installing a metal fascia and ceiling cladding/soffit in this situation?

Standard fascia clips won't work since the rafter ends are not exposed.

So... maybe screw a timber fascia board over the top then proceed as normal, or attach a metal fascia cover and guttering directly onto the beam? What would the soffit/ceiling cladding sit on where it meets the fascia?

Appreciate any ideas/insights.
cheers

I couldn't say for sure @Stuckster  as mine wall all custom made by a mate of mine who specialises in custom roofing, flashing and guttering. He had the basic C-sections  panels made up, then trimmed and folding them on site.

Hi @Stuckster 

 

Here are some links to the Lysaght Novaline Ironstone Fascia brochures. You might find them useful in your research - Lysaght Rainwater Solutions and Novaline Fascia Cover.
