Abstract

In one exemplar embodiment, a corner brace for joining a barge rafter and fascia board in building construction is provided that comprises a right-angularly shaped metal channel having a base and two pairs of spaced parallel ascending sides for receiving and supporting the adjacent respective ends of a right-angularly disposed barge rafter and fascia board. The outer right-angularly disposed ascending sides of the metal channel form face plates for contacting a substantial portion of the outer surface of the ends of the barge rafter and fascia board and have a plurality of spaced apertures disposed therein for accommodating conventional fastening means such as nails or screws. The inner pair of the right-angularly disposed ascending sides comprise flanges for contacting a portion of the inner surface of the ends of the barge rafter and fascia board for retaining the end of the barge rafter in a right-angular relationship with the end of the fascia board between the respective spaced pairs of the flanges and face plates in a rigid relationship.
