That's worth knowing. I'm 64, so if it'll last 25 years...


You probably /will/ have to get someone in to repair it.

Care with installation is important, particularly on shallow pitched
roofing. Rain can *bounce* under the sheet laps. Steadmans will
recommend using a butyl strip seal and stitcher screws along the laps.

It's 3m long, same as the shed next to that was done with Corruline, so 2m
sheets give a good overlap - about 90cm - and should be enough to stop water
getting blown back up the slope.
