Best thing for garage roof
Spent all weekend extending and re-roofing my garage, ready for the arival of my MK Indy. Its now 10 feet longer and now the roof is pitched I can
stand up with out banging my head. Im really happy with how its going but not sure what would be best to cover the roof.
I dont have much money left so the cheaper the better. I was thinking maybe shed felt, or maybe that black corrugated bitumen sheets.
Anyone any suggestions?

Did you get away with that under PD rights or did u get planning? if planning then the finish should be stipulated in the approval

Surely that should be "feel it"

buy green felt and run long rows across the roof horizontally from the bottom upwards. then do same at other side and on over middle of top. little
bit of over hang and get guttering if you can. maybe lead it into a water butt.
sorted.
dont do it over the top in lines going up an down. it leaks and if the wind catches it the BYE BYE felt.
use bichemin to seal it and nail it too.
good luck

use concrete sheet stuff, it'll last 20 years, not cost much to do either.
The one thing you don't want to save too much cash on is the roof!

Fibreglass it! Was looking at this method for the roof over my loft conversion as it is said to last 40 years. Easy to do if a little more ££ than
felt.

Layers of felt running horizontal starting at eves and finishing at ridge for now.
Then when you can afford it use felt shingles on top, they look just like tiles and they are an approved roofing solution in the UK.
Mine have been on for about 5 years and still look as good as the day I put them on.

American-style 3-tab shingles are easy, and some come with a 20-year warranty. Easy to handle and look smart too, if done properly (you can get them
in Wickes, together with an instruction leaflet).

In my experience felt will leak in 2 or 3 years unless you do a professional job with a tar boiler etc. It usually goes on the lee side where the
suction from the wind fatigues the felt around the nails.
Tin sheeting has come a long way since corrugated iron and is now a 20 year jobbie. watertight and no condensation with your roof construction.
As mentioned f/g is also excellent but a bu66er of a job to do.
Have you considered second hand roof tiles as this option will enhance the resalability of the house?
Cheers
