Is this suitable for shed roof

[Bobbya82]

Hi,

Would the following plywood on the link below be suitable for a shed roof, will be covered with felt?

Or maybe the 12mm

If not could you recommend something?

Thanks

How big is the shed?

That ply is pretty thin and at some point you need to get on the roof to change the felt- what structure is underneath?

Thicker ply or I have seen osb used in cheaper sheds

Shuttering ply would be good enough

It's actually a lean to at side of house, about 7 metres by 1.2.

4x2 frame underneath.

Thanks

definately aim for 12mm as the tacks will go through any thinner material

I did my 4.1m x 2.7m shed with 18mm OSB, like this http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-General-Purpose-OSB3-Board-18-x-1220-x-2440mm/p/110517 (other suppliers are available) many years ago.

Very solid, and very walkable-on.

Then 2-layer felt; the first nailed, the second glued.

Thanks for the replies, will probably go for the osb3 18mm.
