Determine the siding, soffit, and fascia required the garage shown in Figures 15.16 and 15.17? The roof overhang is 16 inches.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Length of wall = 24' + 30' + 24' + 30' = 108 ft

Ignore the personnel door opening, but deduct the garage opening and add the gable ends.

Area of wall = 108' x 8'1" – 16' x 7' + 2 ea x 0.5 x 24' x 4'= 857 sf

Order 9 sq of siding

Order 92 ft (108' – 16') of starter strip

Order 4 outside corners 9' long

The length of the rafters (from the ridge to the outside of the wall) is as follows:

Length of rafter = (122 + 42)0.5 = 12.7 ft

J-molding is required around the openings and at the top of the wall.

J-molding for siding = 2 x 30' + 4 x 12.7' + 7' + 16' + 7' + 7' + 3' + 7' = 158 ft

Area of soffit = 2 x (1.33' + 30' + 1.33') x 1.33' + 4 x 12.7' x 1.33' = 155 sf

Order 2 sq of soffit

J-molding for the soffit occurs at the edge of the building. The soffit is tucked under the fascia on the other side.

J-molding for soffit = 2 x 30' + 4 x 12.7' =111 ft

Order 111' of J-molding

The length of the rafter (from the ridge to the fascia) is as follows:

Rise = (12' + 1.33')(4/12) = 4.44

Length of rafter = (13.332 + 4.442)0.5 = 14.1 ft

Length of fascia = 2(1.33' + 30' + 1.33') + 4(14.1') = 122'

Order 122' of fascia
