I'm going to use pvc 150mm Barge board. Can I use 4x2 timber for the ladders and end rafter? The overhang will be 150mm so don't see an issue with strength.

Thanks

Yes, its how we do ours.

Even if say we are using 6 by for the main rafters, we always bring the ladders through with 4". It means you can brick up to the 4" noggs then thicken down with a batten this covering any bigger joints and it provides the ideal depth for hollow soffit and a 150mm cap-it fascia.


Always fix your end rafter before bricking under the noggs.(y)
