[QUOTE="Happy hillbily, post: 7468993, member: 3475"] Try and get more of a pitch on the roof and do it in one sheet. The roof of the milking parlour here is at a similar pitch but done with corrugated sheets, the joint between the two lengths was the first to start to leak. Then we would get debris sitting at the end of the sheet which would act as a mini dam holding water on the roof, which has rotted out the sheets at the bottom of the run. Also when we get snow the heat from the cows thaws the snow on the roof, but the end of the sheet at the bottom is insulated from the heat from the cows by the purlin, so the snow and ice acts as a mini dam, holding the water on the roof, then the water goes over the ridge of the corrugation and drips/pours down inside. Don't say to yourself, ah it will be all right it's less hassle to just bang some sheets on, it will do ! It won't I'm speaking from experience, If your replacing the roof sheets, do it properly once, then you will have a maintenance and leak free roof for years. [/QUOTE]
