ABSTRACT:
This invention comprises an improved fascia panel and method of securing the fascia panel to a plurality of mounting brackets. The fascia panel 11 comprises a first portion 18 which is substantially vertical when the panel is secured to brackets and a second portion 19 which is below the first portion 18 where the second portion 19 is at an angle with respect to the first portion 18 such that the lower edge of the second portion 19 is rearward of the front face of the first portion 18.
A first attachment means 20 is formed along the upper edge of the first portion 18, and a second attachment means 24 along the lower edge of the second portion 19. A plurality of mounting brackets 12 are provided which can be secured to a structure, and are provided with means to engage both the first and second attachments means 20 and 24 so as to secure the fascia panel thereto.
The invention provides a means of quickly and easily securing a fascia panel to a structure, and the design of the fascia panel wherein the lower edge of the second portion 19 is rearward of the first portion 18 provides a greater degree of torsional rigidity and shear strength.
