There is nowhere else to post this so I thought people who have done patio decking might have also done eve lining. too...:)
What is the best timber to line eves with?
Given that there is the occasional possibility of water on them from gutter overflow or roof tile leakage, I want to find out which timber lining is most durable.
MAINTENANCE?
The often used fibre cement sheeting is virtually maintenance free, except for the paint every 10-15+ yrs. How do timber lined eves stand up to the test of time, particularly water damage.
Maybe they are a modern craze that nieve people install not realising the future maintenance issues - oiling, painting, water damage etc ??
