Want to steer clear concrete tiles and corrugated coverings and anything that needs to be torched on. The few slates real and synth I've looked at are a bit expensive.

From ceiling in it will be - plasterboard / vapour barrier /rafters & rockwool/ ply sheathing / breathable felt / battens?? and covering??????

Cheers

Hi,

I used single sheet cladding before and it broke my heart.
Fair enough - i didn't use any moisture barrier so I had droplets of water all over my tools/machines - not good.

If I was building a flat roof shed now - I would go with the ply and torch on felt. You could do a lot of the prep work your self and cost a lad to torch the felt on for ya - even use tenderme.ie - that new ben dunne thingy -:pac:
