In the great scheme we are about to build a shed then take down a garage

to
go in the shed before we can take it down).

However the garage is roofed with these really nice tiles which match the
house and it would be good to re-use these on the shed roof.

However, we need to have both buildings up for a while so we can't use the
tiles from the garage when we first build the shed.

Is there something cheap which would last a couple of years as a sloping
roof before replacement (or possibly even remaining as a layer under the
tiles)?

We were going to use corrugated felt stuff but it would be nice to re-use
the tiles.

cheap shed roofng felt sounds perfect. I expect one layer might be
enough for 2 years, projects often drag on though


For all those who suggested roofing felt........

...Felted roof goes on wood (planks or ply) goes on rafters. You use felting
nails to hold the felt down. You may put battens across the top for
additional 'hold down'.

...Tile roof goes on battens goes on rafters. You may have some tar paper or
similar beneath the battens.

So unless I am to stretch the felt over some battens (which is not the usual
method) this does not seem an obvious solution.
I think I am looking for some really cheap material which will keep the rain
out for a couple of years and may not need stripping off afterwards.

If the answer is to put on a wood roof covered with roofing felt (standard
for sheds), then put battens over the whole thing and put tiles on top, then
that might be an option but again may not hit the 'cheap' button.
