Fixed my roof
Bigbadbugga:
Roof on the workshop is fixed :)
I just need to order soffits and facia boards (upvc) and refit the gutters, but at least it's now waterproof.
I've decided to reclad the walls with the metal box section panels too as I'm very pleased with the quality of them.
Now I can start reorganising the interior, have decided to keep it as just a workshop and not a garage as it previously was. I'm going to put up a large car port for the car so it gives me much more room for workshop stuff.

:lol: :lol: Pound to a penny the car port will end up 'temporary storage' for the workshop :lol: :lol:

You know me well, yet we have never met.

Hi there, B³,
That looks very good. I'm quite envious, while I've been concentrating on my tin shed project, the workshop roof has developed a leak, right over the tailstock end of the lathe swarf tray! I can see where the water is coming in inside but I can't find any defect in the felt up on top. :bang: :bang: :bang:
Having looked at the price of roofing felt, I'm considering re-roofing with the same sort of box section steel sheets as you have used. The snag is, they really need to be fixed to timbers that run along the roof (purlins?) rather than rafters running down the slope - that would require a fairly substantial alteration to my roof structure.
Your photo seems to show timbers in both rafter AND purlin orientation. Please could you tell us a bit more about what's under your steel sheets? Did you happen to take any photos at that stage?
I envy you the size of your workshop - it makes my modest 12' x 8' look like a sentry box! :drool: :drool: :drool:
Bigbadbugga:
the workshop is 26'x15'
the rafters are 16' long 8x2, i used the old 4x2 rafters as purlins placed on their sides and spaced every 3'.
there are 8 sheets of metal box profile, each is 16' long and cost just under £500 with all the tek screws and caps. The wood cost £200. So im quite pleased with what i have for £700.
ill take some pics from inside if you like tomorrow.
