Eaves tile on low pitch roof

[Tony82]

Hi all need some help on one of my projects. I am tiling a low pitch roof with sand toft 20/20

The eaves tile needs to be raised but due to the low pitch I can't just raise the facia board to suit as it will then cause the eaves support tray to slop backwards.

In the photo I've used a 25mm over facia vent. I figured if I put it on between the tray and tiles (and in reverse) it will do the job nicely but wanted to ask if anybody knew the correct way or product to do it?

If I placed the tray over the vents it would slope backwards like this:

Thanks

Correct 7 degrees.

Remove those tiles and battens and treat it as a flat roof. You need to fill in the left-hand triangle of fresh air before continuing with the surface detailing.
Otherwise, you'll need to drop the roof at the fascia end by another 235mm in order to get near to 15 degree pitch. You are nowhere near with what you have there.

It is 15 degrees, maybe the angle of the picture was misleading. This is it from the side.

Update - Good news, I just found their low pitch guide which aligns with what I did.

Just fit a batten under the top edge of the tray.

I'd be more concerned about the lack of anything, i.e. the fresh air at the abutment of the two roofs? Why have you battened and felted, prior to resolving this detail?

Fix a tilt batten OVER the tray? How does water escape once it meets the back of the tilt batten?

OFV's go under the membrane.

Everything to the left of the battens in the first image is being demolished. Its a small pitched roof to house the boiler.

I will use a vent as per diagram but it says you can use a batten providing its notched.
