ideas for roof on drying shed

RobAMerc · 2017-08-19 20:24:58

hi folks, I am going to build a little lean to drying shed that about 8ft by 4ft However, I dont know what the best material to use for a roof might be ? I could make it a deck from some marine ply and felt it, or I could use poly-carbonate roofing So which is going to last longer and which is easier ! thanks

I think a few sheets of ordinary galvanised corrugated iron would be the cheapest and quickest solution

A sheet of WBP ply would also be okay if you covered it with shed felt but I think the corrugated iron would probably last longer!

I used Onduline roofing sheet on a small firewood store' it's a corrugated bitumen producted with a supposed life of 15 years, easy to cut and install. Would work out cheaper than ply and felt I'd say and looks good too.
