What wood for roof?


Recommended Posts

Im having to re-roof part of my old garage. Its currently 1/2 ply and roofing felt. Its totally knackered. Some of the ply is rotten where its leaked.

As it looks like im moving house, im just going to re-do it. But my question is, what should i be replacing my ply with. More ply, OSB?

Its got a very slight fall on it. only a few degrees.

Not really sure whats my best option?

Any suggestions welcome.

Hmmm, prob best if i post a pic.

The bit that has rotten timber is the bit on the left, partially out of shot, which has a shallower angle than the roof of the main part of the garage. Since i built the new garage  have replaced some of the felt where it joins the new, but the rest needs doing. I was going to do it in steel, same as the new one, but this makes the job much bigger, and i dont have time, money or the inclanation to rip it all off. Geting the timber off the main roof would be a nightmare job. Its 3/4 ply well screwed down. I know, i did it.

Hence just looking to re-do it in felt. If it last another 10-15 years that will be fine.

Or are you thinking stick it over the timber deck?
