Out-of-use 6'x6' lap-fence - need log store for new stove - so easy?

Forgot the age-old teaching of minimum slope for roof tiles.

Leaks like a sieve. Hooray!!

Cover it with black plastic, and roofing felt over the top of that. It'll be OK.

I can't help but giggle Tim! Consider it a great learning experience passed on to others. ;) (hey, I wouldn't have thought of the slope)

Mine would probably have developed a lean, (the wrong way) time lady.
I'd be worried that it would take off in a high wind Tim.... not much weight in those panels...
