    Since building the shed two years ago I've only had a billboard tarp stretched across the top as roofing. It's held up great but started to show a few leaks here and there this winter. I've been on the lookout for some used roofing and the wife of my friend who passed away recently had asked for some help cleaning her property up for an appraisal. I noticed a pile of tan, steel roofing out back and asked her if she planned on using it or if i could give her something for it. She insisted that i take it for free. So today I swung down there and loaded up 22, 12ft sheets plus a few scraps.

    Gonna pull the billboard tarp off tomorrow and start laying out the sheets!

    Yep! All the creases where it was folded were starting to crack and show some holes. It worked well for a temporary roof.

    Oh and dont pay attention to the screws scattered all over the roof. I had to screw it down in alot of the existing holes. Someone went crazy when they installed it before :picard:
