- the obverse face of the plate members, the side edge members and the plate portion and soffit portion of the fascia edge members are provided with a covering of natural or synthetic reeds forming a thatch over the assembly of members, anchoring elements being provic " on the members for securing the thatch covering thereto.
- the fascia board portion of the fascia edge member is preferably provided with a covering of reed ends.
- FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a roof showing a roofing system according to the present invention, each side of the roof being shown in a different form;
- Fig. 2 is a cross-section of a detail of a joint
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detail of a fascia edge member showing one part of a first form of drainage channel
- a roofing system comprises a plurality of plate members 10 of synthetic material to be fitted over a prepared roof support structure 12.
- a series of side edge members 14 of synthetic material is provided each having a plate portion 16, a barge portion 18 and a soffit portion 20.
- a series of fascia edge members 22 of synthetic material is provided each having a plate portion 24, a fascia board portion 26 and a soffit portion 28.
- Each member 10, 14, 22 has jointing edges.
- Adjacent members 10, 1 , 22 are interconnected together at their edges to form waterproof joints and provide a waterproof covering for the roof support structure.
- the joints between the members 10, 1 , 22 are scarffed joints as shown in Fig. 2, and a plurality of clips 30 are provided for securing the members to the roof support structure 12.
- the fascia edge members 22 each incorporate a drainage channel 32 provided in the plate portion 24.
- the drainage channels 32 are assembled together with watertight joints and one or two downpipes 34 are provided at one or at each end of the assembly respectively to convey away any collected rainwater.
- the drainage channel 32 in each fascia edge member 22 is open-topped as shown in Fig. 5 or alternatively, the drainage channel 32 in each fascia edge member 22 is secured under the plate portion.24 with a series of slots 36 being provided therein to communicate with the channel 32 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
- a series of top capping members 38 of synthetic material is provided to extend along the apex of the roof when formed of the assembly of plate members 10 and side edge members 1 .
- the obverse face of the plate members 10, the portions of the side edge members 14 and the plate portion 24 and soffit portion 28 of the fascia edge members 2 are provided with a pattern thereover representing lengths of natural thatch as shown on the right hand side of the roof in Fig. 1.
- the representation of thatch includes representation of ropes across the simulated reeds of the thatch, and the slots 36 are provided in the representations of the ropes in the manner as shown in Fig. 3.

- Anchoring elements, in the form of fixtures 44, are provided secured, or to be secured, in a spaced apart relationship to the members 10, 14, 22 for use in securing the thatch covering thereto by threading a flexible element 46 through apertures provided in said fixtures 44 as shown in Fig. 4.
- the fascia board portion 26 of the fascia edge member 22 is provided with a covering 42 of reed ends.
- the synthetic material can be of plastics material or formed from moulding composite or multi-ply materials.
- a roof covering is formed over the roof support structure 12 with plate members 10, the clips 30 being fastened to the strappings across the rafters of the structure 12 making sure that the joints are waterproof.
- the side edge members 1 are then fitted, followed by the capping members 38 and the fascia edge members 22.
- the downpipe 34 is then fitted into place as shown in Fig. 1.
- the slots 36 are angled (as the ropes would be) and spaced from each other in overlapped fashion. Rainwater running down the roof flows into the slots 36 (which are of sufficient width to prevent rainwater bridging) into the channels 32 and into the downpipe(s).
- the rainwater first percolates through the covering onto the roof then runs down as described before.

Abstract
Le système de toiture décrit comprend plusieurs éléments de panneaux (10), une série d'éléments de bords latéraux (14) et une série d'éléments de bords frontaux (22), tous composés d'un matériau synthétique et conçus pour être installés sur une structure de support de toit préparée (12). Chaque élément de bord latéral (14) comporte une partie panneau (16), une partie frise (18) et une partie sous-face (20). Chaque élément de bords frontaux (22) comporte une partie panneau (24), une partie panneau frontal (26) et une partie sous-faces (28). Les éléments adjacents sont reliés entre eux de façon à former des joints étanches et à assurer une couverture étanche pour la structure de support de toit (12). Dans chaque élément de bords frontaux (22) est incorporé un canal de drainage (32) ménagé dans la partie panneau (24).The roofing system described comprises several panel elements (10), a series of side edge elements (14) and a series of front edge elements (22), all made of synthetic material and designed to be installed. on a prepared roof support structure (12). Each side edge element (14) has a panel part (16), a frieze part (18) and an underside part (20). Each front edge element (22) has a panel part (24), a front panel part (26) and a soffit part (28). The adjacent elements are interconnected to form watertight joints and to provide a waterproof cover for the roof support structure (12). In each front edge element (22) is incorporated a drainage channel (32) formed in the panel part (24).
