I want to make an outside structure shower proof for summer. It is a wooden structure about the size of a single garage but with a hipped roof (it's just got a tarp over it at the moment). Does anyone know how to make a hipped roof using the corrugated stuff? How do you butt it up down the hips? Any ideas folks?

If you go to this page there is a hipped pergola - that's what I'm trying to do.

Can you think of something I could use to get the same effect?

I always understood these corrugated sheet suppliers provided accessories such as hip and ridge capping to cover these details.

The sheets themselves are cut up the ridge (crude as you like with a grinder) with say a 25mm gap to allow for through fixing of the hip caps.

Probably.
 
Yes thanks. I've seen the cap sheet but not the hip. Maybe I should try and contact the supplier? Or use a bit of mini guttering upside down.
