Shed roof options

[Tarw Coch]

Looking at replacing a shed close to the house and just wondering what my roofing options are.
Have priced up a shed with fibre cement which can be supplied and put up fairly quickly.
Just wondering about roofing options, would rather something that doesn’t stand out quite so much but done really want to hold the job up as access for construction will be through the garden.
I know coloured sheets can be sourced, don’t know how much extra and I’ve got it in the back of my mind that some sort of tile effect sheets are available too but at what cost and what sort of availability.
For quickness of getting the job done painting standard sheets might be an option, how big a job is painting a big 6 roof?

Size will be approx 45x30

Tile effect would look wrong imo. We used anthracite coloured Profile 6 eternit fibre cement roof over yorkshire boards on three sides. It sits well in the landscape. I think you don't want colour colours like red or green though

No, won’t be red or green. Use quite a bit of slate grey box profile for side cladding, Its tempting to use it on the roof apart from the very occasional use for stock

steel? if so what about sweating or condensation if for bales?

Last leanto that I put up anthracite fibre cement was no more than light grey. It matched right in with the 10 year old main shed.

fibre cement would fit in just fine

Scroll down for colours. I don't think it makes any/much difference to the costs.

"Natural" sticks out quite a bit for a few years - as above anthracite fits in straight away.
