Replacing shed roof covering
16 Answers
The stuff on the roof of my garden shed has taken a battering through the awful weather and I need to look at replacing it.
The roof panel on each side is about 3 foot wide by about a foot and a half deep (serious estimate!) and only the one side is really affected.
I'm on a serious budget so looking to find out about how much I'm looking at to get it replaced and what is best to ask for so I don't look daft/get ripped off in a store. Does it make a difference how expensive the one you go for is and can you get it in the amount I want without paying for a load I don't need? Oh, and can you cut it to size with normal scissors or will I need something more heavy duty if I can't get the size I want?
I assume somewhere like B&Q would be the best place.
The panel underneath is wood so I assume I can just hammer nails in to keep it in place rather than glueing which I don't imagine would be very waterproof.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you both. I have no idea if there is a Wickes round here but will google along with building merchants. B&Q and probably other places are a bus job - will it be heavy (don't worry Trim, I don't have that much to spend on it at the moment so you can stash the hose for now :))?
Am hoping to entice a nice male friends with the lure of being fed for help with cutting (if it doesn't involve scissors) and hammering purposes (preferably one with a hammer as I don't think I have one).
Will ask around if anyone knows of a builder who might have some spare, great idea, never thought of that :)

Ahhhhh bless ya all :) I'm hoping to capitalise on friends who like doing manly things but don't have a garden to do them in haha! I'm thinking a good proper homecooked roast dinner and homemade apple pie is definitely part of the deal! I feel bad I don't drive so more than willing to give back in return. Just seems at the moment that the less money I have, the more things are in need of replacing, sods law! :)
