Don't know but its very slow to navigate about on my LG tv as well. Once you manage to navigate to the program it streams ok.

Hmm best part was I thought it would be easier..

Also wondering if any gone with 'upmarket' corrugated options at all like right middle link on https://themetalroofcompany.co.uk/garden-rooms/ ?

Is that s similar to mine size wise ..sounds OK.. where did you get your slates?

That's not mine but just looks good..

honestly thatch is amazing but I live in place where it might get torched by local neds

1930 council house with concrete maybe asbestos tiles - I don't think its an option but its pretty hidden from neighbours by fences and laylandii at the back anyway..

is that green-coat a DIY option?

I mean it's a solid oak timber framed build - it deserves a bit of money spending if not excessive. Similar build in Scotland went mad and did same but looks awesome I've got a couple of smaller shed which use 'normal' roofing felt but I feel lucky if I don't have to replace it every 7 years...

Hi all, I'm finally (almost) ready for adding a roof to my green oak 5x4 m shed/workshop build. Its a gable roof over raised tie trusses but has a lowish pitch of 19 degrees. I was thinking about slate at one point but Im just under the recommended limit but expect i could 'get away with it'...

Pergola looks great - perfect for an evening cigar :)

Was thinking about one truss half way with a support under and up to the ridge...not sure if span is technically halved? ..prob still hard to get a stuct.eng. to sign off on it. Or did you mean a full beam/pole or interbal wall support from floor to ridge? In which case its breaks the open plan...

For others who might be doing this: maybe you're going for cathedral to preserve headhight like me....for regs basically you must have either for the ridge: -2 massive glu lams Or -a steel. OR still use trusses with either: - raised collar trusses (what i'm doing) - scissor trusses ...this gives...

Yeah i wanted vaulted..so ive got to replan...current idea is since gable rafters will be 10cm square beams i might run 2 more either 8x2 or 4x4 across the lenth from mid gable rafter to gable rafter maybe giving me effectively 3 times what i have. Does that seem ok?

Hi guys im getting further along with my shed/workshop build and now now realised that i need to think about load support if i want to do a 'proper' tiled roof as i have a 5 m span. Currently i have a 5 meter span between my gable ends ive got a sold oak 8x2 on tied in to my 150mm wide oak...
