DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention relates generally to building structures and more particularly to raised roof edge constructions for such building structures.
Various raised roof edge assemblies, gravel stop assemblies, water dams, and the like, have been provided for purposes of anchoring a sheet-like roofing membrane, retaining gravel ballast or other roofing materials for controlling water drainage, and for supporting a fascia member at the edge of the roof of a building structure.

The disclosures of these patents and this application are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The inventions disclosed in the above-referenced patents and application represent great strides over previous roof edge constructions in terms of simplicity, cost effectiveness, ease of installation, and effectiveness in anchoring roofing membranes.
It has been found, however, in many instances that it is desirable to even further increase the anchoring engagement of a roofing material at the edge of a building structure.
Therefore, the present invention seeks to provide such further increased anchoring and holding power of the roofing material in a spring-action or snap-on type fascia mounting and supporting assembly that also forms a raised roof edge or gravel stop at the outer edge of the roof structure.
The invention further addresses itself to increasing both the simplicity of the components involved in the assembly and the ease of their installation.
According to the present invention, an assembly is provided for forming a raised roof edge on a building structure that has a generally vertical outer face.
The assembly according to the present invention includes a dam member with a vertical dam portion having an inwardly directed face for confronting the outer face of the building structure
