So after a bit of a delay for one reason and another, back into the tiny home. Decided to take it off the mobile base and put it on a permanent base (mainly after that f***ing monster storm early

Take no notice Jack.....he's housing 20 boat people for the Irish government....lol

Think I may have said before mate, use a coloured fibre cement sheet on the roof.. fairly cheap, last forever, you can get in slate blue or a dark grey etc, plus they reduce the noise of rain beating

There's a couple ways of doing it mate, using a vented foam filler under the sheet along the eaves line..or making a soffit detail and venting the soffit...

I'd seriously consider using cement fibre sheets in lieu of metal though mate... Eternit are the company to look at. I'd use the profile 3 sheet...infact ove put a bit on a barn here and when/if I properly renovated that one, it the way I'd go with the roof

Eternity slates were always shite weren't  they I've seen the cement board but I ain't used it

Yeah i heard the slates were crap mate, never fitted any myself ... but the fibre cement sheets (like old asbestos), is decent for what Wilf needs..

I should've said vented foam fillers at eaves abd ridge.. the good thing with them is they are made to suit the sheets profile..

There's a few way to do it, but air flow is important..

What is the point of a pitched roof just more  work and money
