Edge of a pitched roof that overhangs an outside wall?

• A. Cast-in-place Concrete
• B. Fire Door
• C. Eave
• D. Cockloft

Answer: (C)

The edge of a pitched roof that overhangs an outside wall is called the eave. The eave is the part of the roof that projects beyond the wall line, providing weather protection and creating the soffit underneath and fascia at the edge. In practical terms, recognizing a roof eave helps with ladder placement and roof access during operations. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts: cast-in-place concrete is a structural material, a fire door is a rated door, and a cockloft is the space between the top of the wall and the underside of the roof, not the projecting edge itself.
