try roof tiles using different thickness of baton thickest at the front decreasing thickness at the rear to give a gradient .....pete

[Guest]

if you can raise the front. you need a slope for water run off   (6 to 8 in)

make a sectional roof with 4 by 2 beams and ply

and a 18 inch overhang all round (thats what i have)

i also used sticky backed felt (got from builders)

hope this is of use

why is it the same size front and back can you not alter it , there is nothing wrong in how to roof  it, make roof 6" all round bigger add a slope front to back place new roof on top fill in sides 4" run

how would i go about doing that sorry if dumb question total novice when it comes to roofs

[Guest]

put larger beams on

the front say two 6 by 2s screwed together

so you have 12 in front 4in back.

cut ply shaped to fill in sides from front to back

if youve a saw mill near  you,, theyll cut to suit,, i managed to get lengths of 6ins high at front,, tapering down to i ins at the back,, you could either put tile battons on, then  fit tiles ,, or fit ply,, then felt

You can make a traditional dutch barn roof at the front and have a sloping hip roof at the back, using some lose timber.
