Can you restate your question to include what it is you're trying to deal with? I think it has something to do with roof repair, but the pics don't show too much. Sorry. Tom

I have a pole barn.
The roof insulation extends from the inside out to the full length of the eve.
This is a picture with a section of the insulation removed.
What is the best way to deal with this?
Sorry, I guess I have been looking at it too long.
It is foam > Can you restate your question to include what it is you're trying to
26"
and then to
27"
What do you do with the joints of the soffit? I haven't worked with it. Can the sections be managed?
Ya, I guess that could be done. In the one picture where the roofing is visible, I cut the insulation leaving the piece above the
2x4 joist. I would probably have to cut that insulation out and hammer the nails down.Just wondering if someone has a magic, nothing-to-it solution.
What is the distance from the exterior wall to the center joist and then to the drip line shown in the above picture?
I am thinking vinyl soffit but the span might be to great.
OTH can you not just remove the insulation and paint the bottom side of the metal roof?

Vinyl soffitt goes up like siding except you never do butt joints. It installs like tongue and groove. You would have a good bit of waste. You would get 2 53" cuts per 12' board. Also I think the span it too great. When I use it on porches I always nail it every 16". That may be more nails than required. I really don't know the maximum span.
Removal and painting is the low cost option.
