Or box profile plastic coated steel. Much lighter to handle and
cheaper.
They will cut it to size for you.
Lasts15-20yrs depending on what grade you get.


Tends to collect condensation on the underside. There was a fairly
recent discussion here.

If the purlins are strong enough to support asbestos you could do a
OSB/PIR foam/steel sandwich.
