I'm not convinced my brother did quite to the letter mate, he is good at what he does but sometimes is a bit over confident and just rushed ahead without really doing his homework so I hope it doesn't come back to bite me, but as he did it for nothing I can't moan bless him.
It's quite long winded to explain mate so I've shared these links, hopefully they will help👍

It does look good once it's done, the weather needs to be right with a good long term forecast and the preparation needs to be done properly. Due to cold/bad weather, short days and Robs time constraints and me not being able to help much we really didn't do as good a job as we could have done, but hopefully it will do the job. We do plan to give it another top coat in the summer.

Yes it is quite a process mate and not cheap so I don't blame you, I think the Onduline sheets are still very good and are popular in the agricultural sector, the important thing if using this though as I've sadly learned is to put a solid OSB/Ply board roof down first to ensure it doesn't sag 👍😁

That was the mistake I made, I just put mine on supports and nogins which obviously wasn't good enough.
I've go a customer who wants her stable roof repairing, that's the same problem so we are currently discussing her options.

It certainly does mate and it's easy to repair when needed, its apparently very popular amongst the roofers these days.

We had the flat roof over our utility room done that way a couple of years ago. A very smart job and should last for years.

I worked on the roofing for a number of years, felting , asphalt and also sheeting. If i was to use anything to put on the roof of my shed, i would use these sheets. A great product with a nice finish.
