When planning how to build a gable roof you should know that there are several types of gable roofs.
Gable roof with 4 ft overhand.
The window arrangement includes 4 trapezoids in the upper gable wall and 5 36x50 windows and a door below on the main level.
For gabled roofs the roof rafters extending beyond the wall caps creating an angled roof overhang on the eaves.
At the overhang wind can cause uplift on both the bottom and top surface.
Due to the steeper angle of gable roof the maximum width of the eaves is narrower than other shed styles.
A rake on the gable end of the roof can be created with the construction of additional roof framing.
To make the flashing easier to work with on your roof use tin snips to cut the pieces into 3 4 ft 0 91 1 22 m portions.
Then the barge or fly rafter is attached to the end of the cantilevered outlooker.
With different slopes with wide gable end and overhang construction.
I figure the cost of a standard overhang at 70 a linear foot of roof edge per 12 of overhang.
Tin flashing typically comes in 6 8 ft 1 8 2 4 m sheets.
For example 4 12 pitch means 4 inches of rise in 12 inches of run.
The vertical rise of the top chord per 12 horizontal inches is the roof pitch or slope.

4 foot gable overhang.
Cut the flashing into 3 4 ft 0 91 1 22 m sheets using tin snips.
If the overhang extends beyond 24 inches say to 30 inches then a 2 6 top chord for the tail section will be required to handle the additional overhang.
This video will.
If the house had a 24 overhang and the total perimeter of a simple gable roof measured 200 feet 50 feet long gutter times two 25 up the rake times four the estimated cost of the overhang woud be 2 feet times 70 times 200 feet 2800.
It is 28 wide on the south gable end with a 7 12 pitch roof and post and beam style using 2x10 rafters lapping over the top of the beam.
