Someone on here did a lovely black tin shed project - forget who - there’s a whole thread.
I dunno I’d worry about rain noise really - be aware the proper detail is to double batten (vertical first then horizontal counter battens) . I guess black isn’t so good for solar gain either but it looks cool so ….
Sheppz-
Ah ok! That explains why I was having a headache getting the fixing points to align with my studs & vertical battens only! Ali Dymock seems to think that you'd get away with hoizontal battens only if they're chamfered but probably not worth the risk of water pooling if it finds its way in.
Black tin shed rings a bell now you mention it, will UTFS.
Edit: completely missed the link
edit edit: the shed will be under a big oak, which occasionally drops quite large branches (though it did get a good trim a couple of years ago, so hopefully less now) so I should probably consider durability from that.

Any downsides to box profile cladding as a roofing material that I'm not thinking of? Noisey when it rains? I'm quite fond of this aesthetic and will almost certainly be using it on the sides and back. Maybe the planners wouldn't favour it on the more visible sides though.
