    Corrugated metal garage roof leaking

    there are a few products. Fibre based like acripol, very sticker and messy but effective. Liquid rubber, better as it flexes with any movement and water based. Used plank on a roof recently, but much better with two.

    Damp Concrete Floor

    Aquaseal is quite good, and has fibre strands in it, Liquid Rubber is better as it is water based and can be spread on damp surfaces. BUT the damp is coming from somewhere and need stopping, concrete will eventially fail. :?

    Roofing solution for an outdoor walkway/porch??

    liquid Rubber is easier and faster, but I agree that some more struts would be good. Polycarb roof would look nice too if the roof is not designed for shade. If wood to be replaced, underside will need treating too.
