I was planning on using a corrugated bitimous roofing sheet on a small project at home and the sheet from one of the big DIY sheds is too long but I'm not sure if they can be cut?

Anyone know if they can be cut and what is the best way to cut them?[/quote]
 
Place a piece of timber on the sheeting and score/mark with a screw driver then cut it with a 9" angle grinder, that's what I done last week when I fitted a new roof to my chicken coup.

It does yes . I always use an old jack saw and keep a wire brush handy to clear out the teeth as the bitumen does tend to clog them up.
