Hi all
We've got a covered seating area in our garden with a lean to shed tacked on the back, the lean to shed roof is on its last legs, water has managed to get in to it and the ply roof is delaminating and slowly bowing in.
With the weather looking good this weekend, I'm planning to crack on with replacing it before we have any serious wind and it carries the remaining roof off in to our neighbours garden
I've considered various roof coverings, but plan to stick with felt given the roof isn't facing the house (so no aesthetic considerations) also there are several tree branches overhanging it on both sides this is ultimately whats caused the water ingress with branches growing in to the felt on our neighbours side.
Longer term we'll most likely remodel the shed to fit better with our needs once all the other jobs on the house are done - its really a case of patching it up for the next 2-3 years and making it watertight.
From reading the forums I see many people are suggesting OSB3 for shed roofs, but thats mostly with EPDM roofs - is this still the case with felt roofs as well?
At the moment I'm leaning more toward WBP plywood based on the fact the the boards have delaminated rather than turned to mush as the roof has detoriated but happy to listen to any advice from those of you that have roofed a shed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
