Tarpaulin

[PIGEONJIMI]

Has anyone had experience of using builders Tarpaulin as a roof cover ? Im thinking of covering my felt roof with a  one piece Tarpaulin, Would it sweat & cause condensation & then damp ? Any advice would be gratefully received

Asked my Civil Engineer Bro on this one as I'm planning to use it on the back of a new loft I have that I won't be able to get access to when it comes to re-coating it with waterproofing each year.  His repsonse was yes it can cause sweating if on top of the roof if there are no vents near the top on walls, but no problem on side walls.  Do you have air vents at top of your sheds Alun?

why can't you get access to treat/waterproof the back of the loft?

A good ventilation system like what you seem to have is a must and probably the only way to prevent condensation from a tarp.
