Which item is located at the top edge of the eave girt and holds the bottom of the roof panel?

• A. Brace angle
• B. Eave angle
• C. Base angle
• D. Sag rods

Answer: (C)

The bottom edge of the roof panel is secured and aligned by a small angle strip installed at the top edge of the eave girt. This base angle provides a solid backing surface for fastening the panel, keeping it square to the wall and transferring load into the frame. It sits right where the eave girt meets the roof, forming the finishing edge and giving the panel something to bite into with fasteners. Other components serve different roles: brace angles are for structural bracing, sag rods resist sway, and the eave angle is a different edge member not specifically configured to back the bottom edge of the roof panel at the eave.
