Hi everyone,
Working on building a shed. i'm at the roofing stage, i've got 2x4
rafters to which I will be attaching a fascia - what kind of wood
should I use for this? Pressure treated plywood? I would like it to be
paintable.

it should be about 4-4.5 inches wide, and 3/8-3/4in thick.

the other option is that white PVC board they sell at lowes for this
exact thing... only thing is it's kind of expensive.

what should I be using?
At this stage of life, I'd use the fake wood. Some things I don't wanna
do twice. Fascia board, especially if you hang a gutter from it, is
almost always the first board to rot out. (Idiot previous owner of this
place aluminum-skinned the fascia, with no weep holes, and it is rotted
out in several spots. Gotta replace that one of these days...)

If you can't bear to spring for plastic, look for cedar or something.
Pressure-treated 5/4 deck boards would also work. Forget about plywood-
it won't last more than a couple years. Back in the stone age, we used
clear redwood. Worked great and held up well, but would cost a fortune
now, if you could even find it. (I could cry when I think about all the
2 and 3 foot 'scraps' I threw on the burn pile as a wee lad.)
