Allotments 4 All

There was a post last year about a shed that had the roof replaced with a sort of corrugated rubbery sort of thing. I put it on bookmarks but had to have a new puter at Christmas so lost all my saved things. Can anyone remember please :).

Wickes do a fairly good roofing material which is as you describe.

Thanks Palustris, that looks good but it's not the one I was thinking of ::).

Was it Onduline?... I'vew just covered a shelter for some of my lighintg trussing with tat and it's easy to use....

Thanks Chris. That's the one. Hoping to persuade OH to use it as roofing for the 12 x8 chicken run. What do you think?

Thje black stuff will get very hot, you'll need to insulate underneath it properly

My chicken run is about the same size as yours - covered with see through corrugated plastic about 5 years ago and has worked brilliantly - keeps rain off the birdies and their food when weather's bad.

Thanks Alex. I'll look into that one. Did you get it from a DIY place or on line?

I think it was B&Q.

Thank you ;D.

Supposed to be better for chicken sheds than roofing  felt as less likely to harbour red mite.
But does need supporting -someone used it on a shed on our site and it sort of sank, because that was all they used- no roof bars or wood underneath.
I wanted it for my shed but OH kept a tight grip on the pursestrings!!!

The girls have a wooden coop within the run. If only we could afford an eglu ;D. ATM we have a supposably waterproof cover over the wire roof. When it rains the water gathers in the odd spot & drips through. There are support bars across the roof.

All ideas welcome :).
