I have a brick wood store type thingy that needs a new roof. The old one looks like it was tiled at some point but the battens have bowed and there is a lot of rotten timber. Tiles have all been removed.
I have some corrugated metal roofing left over from another job as well as some timber I can use for creating a large "batten" top and bottom edges, leaving an air gap at the sides (overhang of roof would stop rain getting in but allow air movement). I was thinking I could just notch the timber over the brick walls then screw the roof sheeting to those so the whole roof would essentially just rest on the top.
It's in a sheltered spot so the wind lifting it off isn't a concern ... But I feel this is mega bodge territory and there must be a better way that doesn't require a roofer on site for several days?
