Fascia/rake board-The visible flat front board that caps the rafter tail ends and encloses the overhang under the eave that runs along the roof edge and at the edge of the roofing at the gables.
For rakes, I usually bend aluminum coil stock on a sheet-metal brake to wrap the face and bottom edge of a 1x rake board. Manufacturers also offer vinyl-coated aluminum and all-vinyl trim stock that are bendable and give excellent results.
You can also install an overhang on the sides that protects the siding. Add a fascia and soffit, and rake board to the eaves. (Fig. 9)
