Doing it your way if it rains now the internal boards get wet.
If it rains the wiring gets wet.
If it rains during insulation phase before you can wrap in breather membrane it gets wet.
Just needs a good flat roofer now to give you a 30 year roof covering "cough,cough"
...And he is rather handsome.
This is a speedy build .
Predictably, I made a cock up. I had planned to leave the OSB a little long, so it would over lap a 2 x 4 I planned to screw along the front. But I cut it flush. I’d like to have a little more than just a plain flush white board along the front, so a narrower plank, maybe 2 x 3, with the rafters trimmed at 45° underneath might be the trick.

@Morrisman ,how much nicer to look at your workshop than neighbors,plus gazing at it will breed encouragement.top job.
I’m still not sure what type of roof to fit. Felt, or steel. It is something I will never see, bungalow and all that.
I was told to go for pond liner rather than EPDM....a lot cheaperwatching/hijacking the thread with interest. I think this will be the route we are going down for the outside office/gym/shack/snoozing room build. does anyone have info on how to do an epdm roof, what pitch it needs, flashings, guttering arrangements that type of thing tia
mine is roughly 10m x 5m.....it would take 4 of you to get it on the roof....then you couldnt lift it to roll it out and brush away the air bubbles......It weighed about 120kg and would have cost over £600...plus glue etcPosition the liner, roll half of it into the centre. Apply a water-based adhesive, leaving 150mm around the perimeter clear of adhesive. Then roll the sheet out and smooth it down. Repeat for the other half. Then you fold back an edge, apply a contact adhesive and stick it down. Repeat for the other edges. One person can do quite a large area, provided you can get the rubber up there in the first place. It's going to be my chosen method once I complete my workshop expansion. It's only 4.3 x 3.6 metres, so easily a single handed job.
I looked at onduline and I was surprised how little pitch they said was OK.....check it out but I think it was 5 degsours is going to be approx 10 x 8 feet, so not massive, but we want to get as much headroom as possible inside to get the treamill in, Id be happy to use onduline sheeting or similar but guessing Id need a bigger pitch on the roof.
