Hi. Changing the angle slightly, I did one in lead once.

Not as difficult as you would imagine - just need a lot of mental
preparation. If you can get it right it should last a very long time.

You would need a large roll of Code 4 lead, some patination oil, metal
shears and a couple of soft mallets plus hammer and clout nails.

The hard part is getting the joins and edges right - it's all in the
folds. But very satisfying when done.

If you are interested I can elaborate - but it's probably better to read a
book.

Took me a day solid to do a bay flat roof.
