Any handy way in replacing sheets on round roof shed

    Hey all,

    We have a round corrugated shed that had 2 broken skylights. The top of roof is about 16 foot high.

    Don't have to replace with clear, standard corrugated sheets would be fine.

    Does anyone know of a clever and non dangerous way of repairing them?
    Is it possible to position from the inside and try to secure them with a 3x2 timber? I am not looking for air tightness, just want to stop the majority of the rain/wind coming in.

    Presume the best advice is get a local builder or handyman with the relevant tools.

    Thanks

    And insurance.
    Be sure they have suitable insurance before they go up onto any shed.

    It is a hayshed so fill it with hay and if you fall into the hay you will hardly be hurt!!!

    its difficult to get people to do work on a round roof shed

    I bought a 2nd hand one 5 years ago and must have contacted 30 different lads and not one wanted the job . so I sold it

    Have another one here at the house and plan is to remove the roof next year (as its timber trusses) and put an "A" roof on it and resheet with corrugated cladding . lad coming to look at it this week and price the job , I seen a similar job he done down the road. Going to extend it by 2 bays extra when im at it also

    Use a work platform/hoist.....safest way of doing it

    Even that's not easy. I worked on a cherry picker recently and simple things can be very difficult as the cage gets in the way.

    Yes until you fall down in between the bales.
