I put veneer on a wall above the gable roof below. It can be supported by the wood truss and the studs easily. I considered lagging an angle to the stud backup behind pitched at the roof angle. I considered welding 10 gage wire to the angle 2 @ 4" oc vertical so every bed joint would have horizontal reinforcing. There's a little triangular space at the course ending at the angle which I figured to just fill with mortar.
There's other options. I could set an angle below the roof deck and move the end truss out to allow the brick to pass by, but I'm not comfortable with this. It seems to me more susceptible to water damage.
Some suggest build a 4" wall below adjacent to the backup wall to independently support the veneer. This seems like a waste and still promotes poor drainage.
I checked architectural standards and bia. I don't find any help.
Please review this and let me know if you found other good solutions. Or weigh in on the options I presented. Thanks.
