    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...

    5m long span to support tile roof on shed/workshop

    5m long span to support tile roof on shed/workshop

    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?

    Yes OK but this is half timber on to of brick on a slope...so none of the terms I google ever come up with anything so I've freestyled it. Which of the options would you suggest?
