The barge refers to the triangle shaped timbers on the front of a roof section, which form the peak of the roof. The bargeboard is the part of the triangle that roof sheeting or tiles sit upon. It resembles the fascia board that runs horizontally about the perimeter and serves to support the roof guttering. The bargeboard and the whole triangle section as a completed section are then referred to as the gable end of the building.
