Facia rack

Abstract

The invention provides an easy to use and inexpensive to manufacture facia board rack for temporarily holding a facia board in position for attachment to a building. The rack is a single member formed in such a way that it may be mounted to the side of a building to provide a ledge which projects therefrom upon which a facia board may be supported during the installation of the facia board. An optional riser member may be used with the rack to adjust the depth of a channel in the rack. The holder may be used either before or after the roof deck of the building is installed.

1 . A device for holding a facia board in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: 
 a unitary member having a planar surface adapted to attach adjacent one end of a roof rafter of the building and having a plurality of apertures formed therein for accepting fasteners, wherein said member can be secured to said rafter in a desired configuration; and    a channel section formed therein, adapted to receive and retain therein said facia board.    
     
     
         2 . The device of    claim 1   , wherein said fasteners are selected from the group consisting of nails and screws.  
     
     
         3 . The device of    claim 1   , fabricated from a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum alloy sheet material, steel, and plastic.  
     
     
         4 . The facia board holder in    claim 1   , wherein the height of the vertical section is greater than the height of the main section.
