Good point. I guess the rubber sheet was closest to the bitumen on the
existing gargare roof, but without any of the hassle and potentially
more
reliability. I may well go for the metal roof though. The roof currently
drops a brick course over 5 metres.

I'm sure that fall is quite adequate as long as the timbers allow for
the necessary snow loading (but this would be the same for any material).


The roof itself isn't visible to anyone except for the neighbour who
will
directly overlook it. What about noise (I'm thinking of rain on old
corrugated sheds) - don't wan't the neighbour complaining!

Box profile is a lot less noisy than old corrugated, but it will be more
noisy than rubber. If this is an issue, consider insulated box profile.
This has PU insulation bonded to the underside, and is virtually
noiseless (but about 3 times the price).


Any particular recommendations?

There seems to be a standard polyester coated glavanised box profile,
carried by many stockists all around the country. I'd take a look in
yell for your nearest supplier.

You'll be amazed how cheap it is, and how quickly the roof will go up.

Thanks Grunff. Will do.
