Installation
Ideal for new builds and refurbishment projects, including when replacing existing fascia boards. Our Eave Felt Support Trays are easy to install, as follows:
Fit the support tray over the fascia board and secure directly to the rafters using corrosion-resistant nails.
Overlap adjoining lengths by a minimum of 100mm.
If using fascia vents, install them on top of the fascia board before positioning the tray.
The front ‘bobble’ edge of the tray should be dressed down towards the gutter and stapled or nailed in place.
The roofing felt or underlay is then dressed over the support tray, ensuring it does not extend into the gutter.

Product Application
Exposed roofing felt or underlay will degrade and rot over time. Covering it with these trays will prevent ponding from occurring behind fascia boards and stop your underlay sagging between the rafters.
When roofing felt begins to perish, it’s most vulnerable at the eaves where it has the potential to sag. If the felt sags at the eaves, water begins to collect and pond, causing the felt to rot and even rupture. In turn, this allows water to access the roofing void which can result in significant and costly damage to rafter timbers and roof structures.
In order to prevent this vicious cycle, it’s vital to use a product designed to preserve the longevity of your sarking felt – just like our Eaves Protector Felt Support Tray.
Designed to direct water away from the underlay, our Eaves trays provide clear drainage points into the gutter, keeping your roof felt and timbers dry and rot free.
