oakey 57 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have a old prefab concrete garage in my garden that i wish to make more use of at the moment its damp and cold . The thing is i had it years ago of a bloke that was taking it down but the numptys that moved it broke all the roof panels so i made some angle iron frames and bolted tin to it now its got old i want to replace the tin but dont know which way to go . Should i bolt on OSB board then felt or go for the corrugated roofing panels that ive seen in B&Q made of like a thick felt ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobkizzyhugo 40 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 whats the distance between your supports? coraline sags very easily if insufficiently supported. what size is the shed? you can get a concrete corragated fibreboard from builders merchant. if the supports are spaced widely. chipboard is not the best for flat rooves. cheapest but not the best. OSB board would be a better option 3/4" again if youre supports are set wide appart (4') you will need additional supports or the boards will sag. coraline sheets cover bout 0.8 by 1.8m approx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
