EPDM you can buy it in kit form comes with the glue you spray in on old roof lifting old felt and spray the epdm and it sticks within minutes. Its not cheap around £100 for 10x6" shed but will last over 20 years easyI'm fed up replacing the felt on mine, it blisters in the sun. What would be a good roof material on a wooden shed instead of felt?0

I second this fitted epdm to my shed roof easy job will last me years whilst my neighbour keeps replacing his felt roof every 5 years or less worth the money

Just make sure you get a decent one and make sure the wood is either pressure treated (not dipped) or something like Cedar.0

I used

Took the roof off as the boards were damp and built a new support structure, left the eves and roof caps open for ventilation, you can get fillers.
They look good with no signs of deterioration must be getting close to 10 years must check when I did it.
If the roof boards are good some go plastic and cut roof lights.0
