Corrugated iron shed roof gone rusty

    Hi, I have a small concrete block shed in the back garden and it has corrugated iron as the roof, angled at a slant for rain to run off. However, the corrugated iron is all rusty and there are a lot of holes in the roof. I've patched them up with duct tape on the inside and I was wondering if there is any kind of product that I could use to seal the top of the roof, something like a tar paint? It would only be a temporary measure as I just don't have the funds at the moment to replace the roof.

    Those sheets are less than 20e a pop.
    I just bought some.

    how bad are the holes. are they pin holes or longer splits.
    if they are pin holes you can use a bolt and rubber washer to fill the hole and silicone to seal it. soudaflex is great stuff for jobs like that.
    i have 'fixed' a few holes like this and they have held fine. not really a permanant solution but will tide you over

    A well anchored tarp will work fine as a temporary measure!

    Sealing from below is doomed.
