cheap sheet roofing
Just got to bodge up the asbestos garage for another year. Need to replace a pitched roof panel around but less than 8'x4'. In the past I had a thin sheet of ply (~5mm) Then coated it with 3 coats of bitumen paint I also had lying around. Now I've only got the paint. What's my cheapest solution i.e. what sheeting do I buy? I'm sure it will be a compromise based on its weight and it not blowing off! -- Mike W |

Thanks all the same. Youd be hard pressed to find anything cheaper than that. Chip sure aint no use for roofing. NT |
