Is that not going to generate a lot of noise when it rains?

We have a powder coated steel roof on our house extension (specialist
roofing from Tata Steel) but this is designed to look like a zinc roof. It
is a number of sheets with crimped joints. Looks pretty good.

It isn't particularly noisy in heavy rain because it is laid on wooden
sheets (can't now remember if they were OSB or chip board) designed for
roofing.

Under that is a significant amount of Celotex (or similar) to modern
building regs.

However here I am looking at the corrugated (square section) roofing more
commonly used in agricultural buildings.

It won't look pretty, but it should be durable. Possibly as durable as
torch on felt.

It has just occurred to me that if it does get worn out (or at least
rusty) then all you have to do is unscrew the bolts and bolt new metal
sheeting in place.

Just idly toying with the idea at the moment, but it could be an
interesting option.
