Hanging Out on an Island. The standard overhang of an island countertop -- on the side designed to sit at and tuck stools underneath -- is 12 inches. If you plan to extend the counter farther, you need to add supports such as legs, or wood corbels or metal L-brackets that extend half the overhangâs distance.
Another approach might be to have a longer overhang at the gables than at the eaves. But again, I think that would look awkward. With the 36 overhang, I will use roof support brackets. I like the look of a generous overhang, and the support brackets. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules. The pitch, and overhang are a balancing act to get the most performance with the least cost.
