Default Tiled roof advice - shed

Hi,

I'm hoping some one could give me a few starting points please. I'm
trying to re-use 3 walls of what's left of an old brick out house to
build a log store - not really wanting to knock the rest down.

With the 3 walls I was hoping to build a pent roof sloping towards the
middle rear wall (i.e. no front wall where the roof at its highest.
I've a load of old tiles, but currently trying to work out how to add
Purlins and rafters to support these. How do you set the Purlins on
the walls? And how to attach the rafter to the purlins - simply nail,
joint etc?

Has any one any guidance or know of useful websites? I know it would
be easier to use corrugated sheets etc, but as I say I have the
tiles!!!

Thanks,

Tim.
