Abstract
The combination eaves trough and fascia with soffit connection means comprises a generally channel-shaped upwardly opening elongated sheet metal gutter member having an upright front wall providing a fascia surface, a bottom generally horizontal wall, and an upright back wall adapted to be mounted directly on the ends of rafter tails. The gutter member is of a vertical dimension to enable it to replace a conventional fascia. An integral horizontal reinforcing rib providing a socket groove is formed directly in the sheet metal material in the lower portion of the gutter member at the juncture between the bottom wall and one of the upstanding walls of the gutter member, and the groove opens toward the back of the gutter member to receive an edge of a soffit panel which has its opposite edge portion attached to an associated building. Closing-in structure is provided for either or both ends of the gutter and soffit assembly.
