Steel Stud Eave Framing
Steel Stud Eave Framing
(OP)
I have a small building (50' x 27') with 2' eaves on the side of the building. The roof is a monoslope roof (3:12). The problem I'm having concerns the framing of the eaves and their connection the the perimeter shear walls. Is there a typical detail out there for eave framing? The eave is 9 feet tall at the tallest end so it becomes a somewhat substantial part of the building. My best idea is to create a "box" and attach the boxes @ 32" oc to construct the eave. The eaves will be sheathed with metal siding. Any help would be helpful. Thanks.

What type of framing? I usually extend the rafter an put a metal deck on the underside.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

In addition, you could install perpendicular stiffener joists between the rafters at 4 foot spacing along the endwall, carrying them back a couple of rafter spaces. This would help support the end joist at the end of the eave.
