Need to do some plain tiling on a 35 degree pitch roof ...
It is 4.3 x 4.3 m square with all 4 corners fitted with bonnet hips.

The Q relates to eaves .. on previous job I used these Felt support trays - http://tinyurl.com/kqw6suz

These are great for large format tiles or slates
However as plain tiles have a course of eaves tiles first .. means there is only ~150mm between back of fascia and bottom edge of batten.

So I had to cut quite a lot off the depth of each one (about 75mm if I remember) so it could fit in front of batten (so a lot of waste)

What else is (could) be used to prevent felt sag & puddling at eaves ... even the old method of cutting a tilting fillet for each rafter, can still allow felt to sag and then puddling of rain water.
