Eave Struts

Eave struts are cold-formed steel sections used in pre-engineered metal buildings to tie the roof and wall framing together at the eaves. Installed along the roof’s edge, they provide a secure base for roof panels and an anchor point for trim and gutter systems. By stiffening the roofline and transferring loads, eave struts are essential for weather resistance and structural integrity.

Indaco Metals fabricates eave struts to precise project specifications, ensuring a perfect fit with your roof slope and framing system. Whether for agricultural barns, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities, they provide both performance and reliability where it matters most—the edge of your roof.

Customer Fit Snapshot

Eave struts are best for:

  • Contractors and builders requiring reliable edge framing for metal building roofs
  • Agricultural customers constructing barns and sheds that need secure gutter attachment
  • Commercial and industrial developers seeking stronger roof-to-wall connections in large-span projects

If your project doesn’t require roof-to-wall tie-ins or gutters, standard purlins may be sufficient. For any roofline that needs added strength and a finished appearance, eave struts are the right choice.
