Re: Correct name for these
What I find interesting about those things is they're not usually really important to the structure. You can just as easily support those fly rafters with sheathing and connection to the fascia board. Of course nobody in their right mind should ever stand on those things anyway - the sheathing is usually suspect unless it's been well maintained throughout it's entire life. The whole thing serves mostly a cosmetic purpose.
