Default Facia?

Having done my facias, soffits, gutting and fall pipes etc. on the
house, the weekend before last, I'm now looking to do a similar
'make-over' on the garage + its workshop extension.

There are no gutters (these are internal) or soffits involved, just
some sort of facia - basically just down the sides only and I'm
wondering what material is available. Something similar to the L shape
of the facia I used on the house.

The garage was a 24 x 12 second hand precast concrete one, with a block
built 18 x 12 extension on the back, to form a L shape in plan view.
Timber roof beam ends are exposed down each 24' side of the garage, and
along the 12' sides of the extension. Garage has a corrugated asbestos
cement roof and the extension a squared corrugation steel roof.

Now I could use more of the plastic L shaped facia with the short bit
(1.5") of the L at the top, but part of the idea will be to give the
timber beam ends some extra protection from the weather. So it would
need to have a bit more of an overlap, either to go under the roof
material, or over it.

Any idea please?
