An eave strut is a structural component used in building construction that is typically located at the eaves of a building, which is the overhanging edge of a roof.

Eave struts are horizontal beams that are installed between the roof rafters or trusses and the top plate of the exterior wall. They are designed to provide support and stability to the roof structure, helping to distribute the weight of the roof evenly and prevent sagging or bowing.

In addition to providing structural support, eave struts can also serve as a connection point for other components such as fascia boards, gutters, and soffit panels. Metroll offers eave struts from steel, and they are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different roof designs and building codes.

Overall, eave struts play an important role in ensuring the stability and durability of a building's roof structure and are an essential component of many construction projects.
