The cover plate includes a channel in which is disposed a retainer. The retainer is releasably engageable with a lighting element that can be selectively switched on to illuminate the area of the structure to which the assembly is attached directly around the a...

The present invention is an apparatus that provides both a protective and a decorative covering, or sleeving, for rafters. Generally, the apparatus is a U-shaped sleeve that has upper and lower horizontal flanges that run the entire longitudinal length of the member. The upper flange provides a means for securely attaching the invention to roofing materials such as roof sheathing, and together with the bottom flange forms an external channel that can be used to carry soffit material between the ...

The present invention discloses novel pergola end caps that appear to be unitary with the pergola beams to which they attach, and wherein the pergola end caps are: (a) slidably received on a squared off end of a pergola beam, (b) may include enhanced scalloping, and (c) has a length substantially greater than heretofore has been possible to cost effectively manufacture.

A horizontally-disposed fascia, a longitudinally-extending gutter having a bottom member, and a plurality of support members for suspending the gutter so the bottom member of the gutter forms an angle with the horizontal plane. The gutter is disposed between the fascia and a building wall so the fascia-gutter of the present invention appears to be horizontally-oriented, while the gutter is angled to drain rainwater.
