Gable Pediments Who knows about these?

[3rd Rail]

I’d like to add some to my house. See some prefab and suppliers. They can be costly and I’m not sure I want to buy more ladders.
Am curious if anyone here builds and or installs them.

I built one for the house we recently sold. Roof pitch varies from house to house and I couldn't find a premade guaranteed to fit. It wasn't hard to do but mine wasn't far off the ground being a single story house

So that’s what there called. Must be a trend going on. I’ve been seeing them all over the place. Don’t do it. Its just more **** to paint.

AKA Gable Brackets (doesn’t sound as expensive)

I hear you about the paint, but this house could use a little bling. We’re only talking about two gables painted. Not cedar. Probably 12/12 pitch 1.5 story.

Would like to go with a curved beam to compliment the brick archway over the front door. Otherwise I’d give it a shot. The vertical and diagonals would be straight.

Lol. Our builder on our new house calls them "dollar signs"

We call them gable brackets as well. My company supplies these kind of items for a large siding company. We make them out of cedar, hardie and pvc materials. Many different sizes and styles.
