The guarantee[1] is 10 years isn't it? So my rule of thumb says twice that.

and 2.6mm Coroline?

Dunno.

[1] replacement material cost only, of course.

Not very much at all unless you give it A LOT of support. It sags like the
devil after a year or two.

Yup - mine's only around 7 - 8 deg. so it's a fulldeck underneath.
The 15 years assumes some maintenance which, I assume, means clearing off
debris a couple of times a year. Not very good cf. the asbestos cement roof
on the other shed that's just about OK after 60+ years.

Yes, its going onto full sarking.

I should look at asbestos replacement too, I'm out of touch with the price on that.

I think you will need plywood.
At least, that's what it was laid on at my parents' house.
It's then tiled over, but the tiles are mostly decorative as the
roof angle is too shallow for the tiles alone.

I cant imagine any problem with the current planks & felt. The corrugate can simply screw on top, dont even need to strip the felt.

Well... there is heat. I'm still occasionally wondering how to reduce heat buildup, it really needs to be usable in midsummer.
