Hi,
We're planning major renovations to the house so need the garage to store house stuff. Currently the garage roof is corrugated roofing which drips in places causing the general condition of the garage to be a little damp.
The question I have is whether replacing like-for-like will definitely improve the conditions inside or whether laying a new roof - possibly OSB and EPDM membrane and insulating is a worthwhile investment.
The section of the pitched roof with the rafters is shown in the image:
The two rafters running left to right are 200x47 and the top-bottoms are 100x47. As you can see they're at pretty unhelpful pitches for 2440x1220 boards to work nicely.
So, would it be best jut to replace the old corrugated roof materials, or, if I add some more rafters, would it give me a much more weather-proof finish using an EPDM system?
Any thoughts appreciated!
Adam
