Flashing for shed lean to

Lipanook · 28 Nov 2019

I'm planning on building a simple lean to that will stick out of the back of my shed. The plan is for it to be a wooden frame with a corrugated bitumen roof. Its just for keeping the rain off various things that I dont have space for in the shed.
What I was wondering is how to do the flashing for the roof. The roof will be attached to the shed at one end and slope away from the shed. If I was doing this on a brick wall, I would use lead flashing embedded in mortar, but the shed is wooden. What are my options here?

You can get a shaped flashing from Onduline = the corrugated stuff you're using.

How do you attach that type of flashing to the wood of the shed?

Silicone and screws.

That's so obvious now you've said it. The shed is indeed shiplap, so this is what I'll do. Thanks all for your suggestions.
