Finding sheet material (OSB) for shed roof.

[Paintguy]

Hi all.

Due to me being lax and not re felting my shed roof last year it now needs replacing! The thin OSB has become water logged and is sagging quite badly.

Trouble is, it's an 8 x 10 shed and the (apex) roof is made up of four 5' x 5' sheets. Since most DIY places only sell up to the standard 8 x 4 sheet size I'm having trouble finding some. I know I could piece something together with that size, but would prefer to find proper 5' wide sheets, either 5' long or even better 10' if they are available.

Any clues where I should be looking?

Thanks,
Andy.

Try a timber merchant or a builders yard. not sure about OSB but you can get 10x5 sheets of plywood, not cheap though, as 8x4 is the standard size.
Check whether the sheets are 10ft or 3m and remember to allow for overhang on the roof

May be cheaper/easier to use planks instead!

Hadn't thought about using some kind of planks. Thanks!
