ABSTRACT:
A patio cover gutter facia is adapted with two substantially elongated side members which are provided with a complementary mating mechanical design for forming a box beam from interlocking two opposed identical gutter facia. One of the elongated sides of the gutter facia is provided with a screw groove for attaching to a roof panel in a common gutter application. The same side provided with the screw groove is also provided with a first lock member of an interlocked joint. The other one of the elongated sides is provided with a second lock member of an interlock joint. The method of fabricating the gutter facia of the is preferably from a low cost extruded aluminum process which will yield a quality product. In forming a box beam, two identical gutter facia are arranged opposing each other in an inverted interlocking relationship such that, a first lock member and a second lock member of a one gutter facia mates and interlocks respectively with a second lock member and a first lock member of a second gutter facia to form two separate, inverted identical interlocked joints.
