Ahh very nice, zinc cladding looks really sharp too, I’d considered but felt that 8m wide classes section would look too heavy. We went for the pre-weathered zinc option, don’t have the time to wait 30 years to go Paris skyline grey.
We’ve gone for white K-Rend on the garden face, brighten up the reduced sized garden a bit.
You can get zinc effect / zinc coated steel or aluminium, which also has a nice finish and a bit cheaper though I don’t think the lifespan is as long.

Zinc is costing about 3x GRP cost, but does include the fancy zinc guttering, downpipes, fascias and soffits.
Mostly I think it’s the labour cost, as it’s a man and his apprentice for 10 days, whereas GRP would only take a couple of days.
