Roger440 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If it's nearly flat I would go for metal, especially if you can avoid joins in the sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger440 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
