Shed roof sheets - pent shed

Ant555

Im looking to replace a poor condition shed roof with corrugated roofing sheets and could do with a bit of advise/wisdom.

Its a pent style shed and the roof runs from the high point at the front of the shed down to the rear so im thinking the corrugation will leave openings at the front of the roof  - will I need to buy something that prevents rainwater from getting in at the front and running underneath the panels? 

Everything I can see online relates to capping for an apex ridge.

Do I simply overhang it a bit at the front?

Any advice welcome.
Thanks

I did this,

You just need the right number of sheets and an apex of the correct length.

Measure the sheets very carefully, there is a bit of play where if you over estimate slightly you just put more sheet under the apex.

Just overhang the sheet slightly from the original roof, but not to much as you will want to put guttering around to stop rain water splashing on the base of the sides.

You will probably find its a two person job, the sheets are quite unwieldy, and you need someone quite / very light (especially if the roof is not in good condition) to get on the roof to screw the sheets in.

its a pent roof and there is no middle apex - its similar to this image below.  

Im wondering what to do with the front face of the roof if I install corrugated sheets (maybe they aren't suitable for this style of shed and roof?)

If there is something that goes on the front then id be keen to see a pic or a link.
Cheers.

My mistake, sorry.

I've no experience of a pent roof, just an apex.

I would use EDPM sheets tbh. Kits available off ebay.

on my sheds i use 3/4" ply or OSB then cover it with EDPM & use their plastic trims not cheap
on my firewood sheds I use just Bitumen Corrugated roof sheets nailed on to the rafters
both have guttering fitted 
used to use roofing felt but never seemed to last that long for me
if you use corrugated roof sheets you need to have the infills to stop wind/birds getting under the sheets

A neighbour of mine has used the bitumen sheets and put apex pieces along the front of the shed so they hang down over the front. It's lasted at least 30 years so far.

Hi Ant.

I think something like: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=drip+fascia+trim&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjmp67q6a_xAhUVpRoKHVvVAwYQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=drip+fascia+trim&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDDIGCAAQCBAeMgYIABAIEB46BAgAEEM6AggAOgYIABAHEB46CAgAEAcQBRAeOggIABAIEAcQHlCssxlYhMcZYNngGWgAcAB4AIABfYgBmgaSAQQxMC4xmAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=7z7UYKb0BJXKatuqjzA

It goes down over the top ends of the sheets, and also forms a nice and effective drip fascia.

I'd first stuff the corrugated openings with foam to stop bugs and stuff: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=corrugated+foam+insters&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjbxZ-066_xAhVLihoKHVWoCMEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=corrugated+foam+insters&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoECAAQQzoCCAA6BQgAELEDOggIABCxAxCDAToECAAQHjoGCAAQCBAeOgQIABAYUN35CFjIlglgtZcJaABwAHgAgAFmiAG-DZIBBDIyLjGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=lkDUYNuiHMuUatXQoogM#imgrc=5fwlIn-5npAg9M
