A moisture barring device (10), forming a general T-shaped profile, designed for diverting air and ground born water away from, and protection of, a wood member (20), which is a beam or joist of an exterior wood structure. Additionally, there is a top ( 12), forming a longitudinal relatively horizontal strip with two parallel longitudinal edges. The top including a central strip section, extending along the central region of the top and positioned between the two longitudinal top edges. The top also having a pair of wing strips ( 32), extending along and coupled to either side of the central strip section respectively along a first wing edge, and each wing strip having a second wing edge that is coextensive with the two respective top edges. The top additionally having a drip edge (18), coupled along the respective second wing edge, forming an angle that is sloped downward with respect to the respective wing strip. The moisture barring device further including a pair of side panel strips (14). Each side panel having a top edge (30) that is coupled to the top where the wing strips is coupled to the central strip so as to extend relatively perpendicular downward from the top. The side panels also including a cavity (28), located between the pair of panel strips. Additionally, the side panels have a panel drip edge (16), coupled to a bottom edge (32) of the panel strips, forming an angle that is sloped outwardly from the cavity.

The invention claimed is: 1. A moisture barring device forming a general T-shape, for diverting air and ground born water away from a beam of an exterior wood structure, comprising: a top, forming a longitudinal relatively horizontal strip configured to divert moisture away from the beam, wherein the top includes: a central strip section, extending longitudinally and configured to cover the top of the beam; a pair of wing strip sections, extending longitudinally and coextensive with the central strip section, wherein each wing strip section is configured to divert moisture away from the beam; a pair of top drip edges, each extending longitudinally and coextensive with one of the pair of wing strip sections, wherein both top and bottom surfaces of each top drip edge extends away from one of the pair of wing strip sections at an acute angle; a pair of side panel strips coupled to the central strip section and extending longitudinally and extending generally perpendicularly downward thereby forming a cavity; and a pair of panel drip edges, each extending longitudinally and coextensive with one of the pair of side panel strips, wherein both interior and exterior surfaces of each panel drip edge extends away from one of the pair of side panel strips acutely. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the top forms a tight seal around a fastening device when punctured thereby. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein each of the wing strip section; extends from a corresponding junction of the side panel strips and the center strip section. 4. A moisture barrier device for hindering moisture exposure to a wood member, comprising: a top, forming a strip, having: a central strip section configured to extend over a wood member; and a top drip edge, directly attached to opposite and parallel sides of the central strip section, having top and bottom surfaces that are each extending downward and laterally from the central strip section at an acute angle; and a first and second side panel, forming a cavity therebetween and shaped to allow the wood member to be inserted therein, each of the first and second side panels coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly downward from the top, each of the first and second side panels having: an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface borders the cavity; a first end coupled to the top; a second end positioned opposite the first end; and a panel drip edge having inner and outer surfaces extending at a drip edge angle from the second end so that each of the inner and outer surfaces of the panel drip edge are acutely angled outward from the cavity, and the outer surface of the panel drip edge does not extend outward of the top drip edge. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the top forms a tight seal around a fastening device when punctured thereby. 6. The device of claim 4, wherein the top wing strip sections each extend from a corresponding junction of the first and second side panels and the top. 7. A single, contiguous, and generally T-shaped moisture barring device for diverting water away from and protecting a wood member, consisting of: a top, configured to cover and extend wider than a width of the wood member, the top comprising a central strip section, a pair of the wing strip section and downward angled tips having a top and bottom surfaces, wherein both the top and bottom surfaces are substantially parallel and acutely angled downward; and two side panels, extending substantially perpendicularly down from the top to extend along sides of the wood member, and each of the side panels includes a drip edge at an end of each of the side panels formed by outwardly angled tips having an inner and outer surface that are substantially parallel and both acutely angled outward from the sides of the wood member, and extending outwardly no more than the downward angled tips of the top. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the top forms a tight seal around a fastening device when punctured thereby. 9. The device of claim 7, wherein the downward angled tips extend from the wing strip sections wherein the wing strip sections extends outwardly from a junction of the side panels and the central strip section. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the top and bottom surfaces of each top drip edge are substantially parallel. 11. The device of claim 4, wherein the top and bottom surfaces of each top drip edge are substantially parallel.
