This may well be daft, but got a large sloping ply roof that needs a cover. 
I also have a couple of large rolls of black DPC.

Any reason(s) why it would be stupid to use the DPC as a roof covering?

OK as a temporary covering for a few weeks / months, if well nailed down to resist the wind. Chances are that it will disintegrate with UV light over a long period.

Cheers for that. I did think about UV, but was unsure as to how long it would last  
Trying to save some dosh as won't be using it for more than a year tops. 

How about DPC base layer covered with a green felt topsheet? 
Would that be any good?

I'd just choose one or the other. Most likely the green felt as, being heavier, it will resist the wind more, though it would still need battening down.
