Hi All,

I asked a while back about considerations when raising the pitch on a
garage / workshop roof (to make more of a 'loft' / storage space) and
I'm now, after seeing some in use, considering that pre coloured galv
steel roofing you often see in the bigger profiles cladding the walls
and roofs of the sheds we all know and love. ;-)

I'm told it would be much noisier than the existing corrugated cement
fibre

corrie is relatively noisy in the rain, but I dont see it being an
issue.


It can be...when you're on the phone.

Agent shows this reply on the end of another thread but I'll answer
here anyway.

I quite like the sound of rain, especially when I'm trying to get to
sleep (tinnitus sufferer) but I try not to do that when using the
Myford. ;-)

It also tends to amplify the intensity of the rain...it sounds like
Armageddon has arrived early, and when you open the shed door to take
a peek at the spectacle you find it's just a light shower.

LOL. We have a poly carbonate lean_to roof that has a similar effect
and is normally our 'audible rain indicator'. ;-)

As for hail, well, that just gets silly.

I bet!

So, if I can get some sort of resolution to the ridge question, maybe
corrugated cement fibre would be a cheap / quiet / cool (as in temp
g) easy_to_source solution and potentially less likely to attract
any attention (as it's what's on there already).

I will just have to design in (and will have more space for with the
increased pitch) some form of roof lining (the walls are lined with
ply and insulating material already).

All the best
