The guy also told me that I don't need to tape the cut edges.

and, of course, he'll gladly sell you some more after the winter if this lot gets spolied by the wet ... ?

Hi there, DMIOM,
Thank you for your reply - it took me aback!!!
In response, I've revisited the Kingspan site and see that the pitched roofing grade is not allowed to get wet.
I was a bit misled by discussions with a friend - he has just finished roofing a large workshop with roof panels comprising an inner steel skin and an outer profiled steel skin separated by a foam insulation layer. These panels are made by Kingspan and he reckons that the foam in them is closed-cell. His architect's designs just call for any exposed foam to be protected by flashing strips.
I shall store my sheets under cover and tape any cut surfaces. It does mean that the joints in my timber framework will need to be kept from intruding into the corners of the spaces.
Thanks again for prompting me to check that aspect of things. :beer: :beer: :beer:

Hi there, all,
I'm suffering a bit of morale-droop here these last couple of days! :( :( :( :( :( :(
The insulation has been delivered but is occupying ALL the spare space in the tin shed so I can't work in there. :bang: :bang: :bang:
The steel roof sheets are on order and paid for but I haven't been given a delivery slot yet. :bang: :bang: :bang: Or an order acknowledgement!! :bang: :bang: :bang:
Dealing with three dead computers and also building a new gaming computer for my lovely but shy assistant has diverted me from getting out and foraging for the timber for the new roof frame. :bang: :bang: :bang:
And the weather has turned wet so I can't yet start to strip off the old roofing felt! :bang: :bang: :bang:
What I really want to do is work IN my workshop but I can't even work ON my workshop! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Buy a cheap pop up gazebo off ebay for £30, shove all the materials under it and get on with the shed

Hi there, all,
I have now taken delivery of Kingspan insulation, box section plastic coated steel roof sheeting & fixings and 6-off, 4.8 metre lengths of 100 mm x 50 mm CLS. I've also found some nice heavy-gauge polythene sheeting for the vapour barrier, in fact enough for a double layer.
The weather forecast for East Hampshire looks good and dry for the next few days so I plan to strip off the old roofing felt on the workshop quam celerime. In preparation for that, I first need to prop the centre of the roof from the inside, just in case.
I've also got a couple of 12' x 8' tarpaulins in case the local cricket club ('white man's powerful rain-making magic'!) negate the weather forecast. :lol: :lol: :lol:
