Batten screws being fitted to battens.
The barge board will be secured via the battens and in order to stop flex, blocks of wood are cut to butt against the last rafter and back of the barge board. The picture below shows the barge board prior to fitting. Note that the end rafter has been infilled with framing and the rectangular framing will be were the loft window will be installed.
The angle of the cut for the top of the barge board should be the same as the angle that the rafter was cut. Im my case 45 degrees.
Barge board fitted and held in place with batten screws.
