Understanding Eaves: Function, Types, and Design Considerations
An eave is the projecting part of a roof that overhangs the wall of a building, typically supported by a timber or metal bracket. It is typically used to provide shade, protect the walls from weathering, and add visual interest to the building's exterior.
In some cases, an eave can also refer to the space between the edge of a roof and the wall of a building, often used for storage or as a sheltered area.
Eaves are commonly found on homes, barns, and other agricultural buildings, but they can also be found on commercial and industrial buildings. They are typically made of wood, but can also be made of metal or other materials depending on the design and purpose of the building.
