What would you recommend? - Felt or Polycarbonate for a garage roof?

BaileyB

Hi Everyone,

Looking for some advice. I need to replace my garage roof and went down B&Q just for a price guide on OSB and felt (most prob get it from a builders yard). I then noticed they have an offer on Ariel Corothern Polycarbonate sheets all half price.

Now has anyone made a garage roof out of this? (It's an pre-fab garage at bottom of garden).

It works out a little more using the Poly but if its better then really might consider it.

Do these prices look ok or have B&Q put the price up then reduced them to have price? (ala DFS)

10mm x 0.7mm x 3m - £14.50
16mm x 1.05mm x 3m - £32.50
10mm x 0.7mm x 4m - £26.00

There were others but only these are suited. The garage is approx 5.2mx3.4m

Any ideas or advice would be great

Thanks

There is another option for you to consider....use Wickes Bitumen corrugated sheeting.

See http://www.wickes.co.uk/Roofing-Sheet/Bitumen-Roofing/icat/rsbitumenroof
and read their Good Idea leaflet at http://www.wickes.co.uk/content/ebiz/wickes/resources/images/gil/44.pdf to see how to fit or if it's suitable.

No not yet ...though i was intending to if i build my own shed - not sure i will now though. See my thread here : http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=691281 and Mr Warren's response in particular as he used it on his shed.
