Garden shed with tiled roof? Planning?
Wife wants a new garden shed not to have a felt roof.
No problems with slapping stronger rafters and tiling it but...will this make it permament and therefore under planning/BCO regs... Since I need the BCO around anyway elsewhere, can't just do it on the QT. |

It is still a temporary building, so if it is the right size and position, etc. will not need pp even with a tiled roof. mrcheerful |

I just used some on a pergola I built to shelter the BBQ and they look just like tiles at a casual glance. I got mine from Wickes in red, but there are lots of different ones http://tinyurl.com/9pew2 Dave |

On the aspect of roof covering, take a look at cedar wood shingles. |

Since I need the BCO around anyway elsewhere, can't just do it on the QT. I did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago with a cabin, although wanted to use cedar shakes rather than tiles. The construction was to use a standard boarding arrangement, felt on top of that (which would have been the normal felt roof), then to batten and attach the shakes to that. I chose a cabin building with low roof pitch so that I could get reasonable floor area without needing to go too high. As you probably know, their are criteria for area, height, distance from house, proportion of plot use etc. I talked to both the local building control and planning people about it and each asked about their relevant set of parameters. The main one was use (i.e. was I going to use it as habitable space.). I'd done my homework and had made sure that I was within all of the rules, so was prepared with answers for all their questions. I specifically asked about the roof, and it didn't make a difference. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

Its for tool storage and garden machinery, but since the one 100 yards down the garden got jemmied open by some chavs who came across the fields, I want one right near the house where it has to conform to SWMBOCO As against BCO...;-) |
