Abstract
This disclosure relates to a gable overhang structure used in the building construction industry to support the gable end of the roof. The gable overhang structure allows for the pre-assembly of an overhang gable and the set back or elimination of the gable end rafter while providing the gable overhang with superior strength. The structure generally consists of a vertical member, at least one horizontal member, and fastening means. In addition, two or more structures are provided together to form a kit, wherein the vertical members are not of the same length.
