Library

The ABIS library is a collection of useful reference material relating to buildings and their problems as well as timber pests such as termites.

The library is a combination of material written by ABIS as a result of our own research and practical experience together with useful information gleaned from other authoritative sources.

The Eaves Overhang is the inclined distance (line of rafter) from the external load-bearing wall to the fascia.

Below is a diagram of a roof frame showing the top plate, rafter, ridgeboard, collar tie, strut, strutting beam, underpurlin and ceiling joist.
