This way the eaves will be at the level of the roof lining of the garage and the room on the extreme left. I think it would look good like that. Might get a little tricky where it goes around the corners though to meet the non eave areas. Re: Adding eaves to facade = shorter external walls ? 9May 11, 2022 7:01 pm Bumping an 11 year old thread... We are building and have optioned 450mm eaves and a 25 degree roof pitch. We have 2.7m internal ceilings. The end result is that there are no bricks above the windows, and the portico has less of a timber infill. This to me looks a bit worse. I would have thought they could just leave the eaves at a certain height and then increase the roof pitch from there. Is this not possible? If I have to go the builders way, should I be getting a discount for the fact there are less bricks and no lintels above the windows? Or will they install this anyway and cover it with the eaves? Appreciate any advice!

This will increase the roof height if leaving the pitch the same and cost more for materials. Re my second point – yes exactly. And often it may take additional time if the manufacturer recommends no more than X meters… 3 5642 Update from me! Couldn't find the trimmer - not sure if there isn't one simply because the eave is so narrow. Went ahead with the spring toggles and it all worked out… 7 5860 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one!
