In small buildings (such as a shed) what is the downside to covering

Any other negatives?
I want to protect the wood indefinitely.
Thanks.

Not a professional roofer here-- but it would seem to me that once you
drive the shingle nail through it, it's just extra weight on the roof...
That was my first thought. If I want a durable shed roof and was willing
to pay the expense, I'd go to the roll-form roofing dealer, and get
panels the right length, and the proper clips and fasteners to tie it
all down with no penetrations through the metal facing the rainy sky. If
you can live with slightly 'off' colors, you can get the stuff amazingly
cheap. PITA to put up without helpers, and make sure everyone has
leather gloves, but quite durable.
