On the left, the completed barge board and soffit. Note the Knotting solution to prevent the leakage of sap that would discolour paint. Also note the 2" * 2" tacked temporarily to provide a guide to align the slate edges.

Note the end of the barge board made of wood does not have to be boxed in as the wooden structure leaves clean lines. This is not possible with uPVC and the ends have to be boxed in completely as shown at the top of this page.
