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 ??
