Roof sheathing past fascia.

Plywood is a bit more expensive but is usually. This would add another 3 4 to the thickness. Then i do a metal drip edge to cover it all. The roof sheathing comes down and ends on top of the 1 x fascia.

Now that i ve modeled what i was going to build i decided i need a piece of molding to break up the plain look of just the fascia trim plank. Roof sheathing or decking is one of those elements. In the u s roof sheathing is almost always composed of wood usually osb oriented strand board or plywood. This is to just enough to cover the 3 4 x6 actual fascia.

Osb is lightweight relatively inexpensive and strong enough to resist bending or breaking should someone walk on the roof. But if you snap it at 40 inches then the sheathing will not project over the subfascia or true fascia. When sheathing a roof the first step is to snap a line so that the first row goes on straight. Just like this pic except on the end of the rafters just the grey colored fascia get rid of that yellow block they are showing behind the fascia.
