Good morning everyone,
we are currently in the detailed planning phase of our single-family home in the style of a city villa. Is it possible to cover the roof overhang of the city villa (with wood or plastic) in a way that the rafters remain visible?
We understand that exposed rafters probably require more maintenance (regular painting), but since rain shouldn’t really reach that area, the effort should be limited.
It would be great if someone could help me, possibly even with pictures. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything in the search.
Best regards

Since I wasn’t on site at the time and only received the photos, I don’t know exactly what they did there. RobsonMKK schrieb:
Exactly, a portion of the rafter is cut away to the thickness of the board. I think that was already visible in the first picture.

Now I have a clear idea of how it is done and can tell the carpenter exactly how it should be. Actually, it's a pretty simple solution that one could have figured out on their own.
Wishing everyone a nice weekend

It’s not a solution, it’s the standard. And if nothing else has been agreed upon, that is how it will be. But for my problem, it was the solution. Thank you

my brother-in-law just mentioned that it might require a lot of maintenance.
How often would you have to redo it (clean, paint), especially on the side exposed to the weather? We would like to paint it light (beige/cream) since we are building in a country house style.
