The Supatile Barge Board finishes the sloping gable edges of the roof, known as the verge. It does two jobs at once: it gives the edge of the roof a clean, finished line, and it forms a watercourse beneath the tile sheets that channels rainwater away from the gable. Each board is 900mm long and is the first part of the system to go on, framing the roof ready for the tile sheets to be laid into place. It suits sheds, garages, garden offices, summerhouses, stables and other small buildings.

It is made from the same high grade steel as the rest of the Supatile system, primed with a water-based acrylic, coated with Aluzinc (55% aluminium, 45% zinc) and bonded with charcoal stone granules. The finish matches the tile sheets, ridges and end caps exactly, so the whole roof reads as one.

Supatile barge boards simply overlap, so there is no cutting and no wastage. Fix the boards to all sides of the roof first, aligning with the existing roof boarding at the eaves and flush at the ridge, then overlap each board over the next by a minimum of 25mm to run any length. Fix using Supatile screw and washer fixings, using three fixings per board including the overlaps. Fixings are available in bags of 10.
