    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I began building a small lean-to style shed 7 x 3 ft and halted work due to weather, which seems to conspire against me as at every opportunity I get to work outside we have rain or snow.


The roof is a single sheet of OSB that, because of weather, I covered with epoxy driveway sealer to prevent any water intrusion
..
I have not decided on a separate roofing material and am wondering what you used on yours.
I looked at diifferent "ripple" style materials but they each require separate components to close off the open .end spaces and they have been out of stock at all local Lowes and HD stores for some time..


I am favouring a product called "galvalume" which is available from Lowes. It also has ripples, but they are only about 3/8 inch high, The lower ends are not important as water can drip freely there, but at the top and maybe the sides I might use a 4 inch angle flashing, then fill the edge and ripples with caulk.
 
My roof is steel TUFF brand 36" wide roof panels. 50 year warranty, 75 year expected life. I got tired carrying plywood and shingles. With these,, you just run 2"x4"'s on 24" centers. You then screw the screws, which have a thick rubber washer and steel washer to hold them down and keep it watertight. I have done the back of my house with this. If you have only one level of asphalt shingles,, you can actually just run 1" by 4" strips to the roof, and attach the steel panels right over the roofing. Very easy to cut and shape. I got them from Home Depot, they have them in stock, so you can look at them, they also have translucent plastic, in case you want to make sky lights. The 2"x4" in the front is typical. ;)
