I have today given our tired looking shed a new lease of life. I have replaced the felt roof with Coroline corrugated bitumen roofing that I first used on a friends lean-to garage and then again on the extension I built to our garage. I find that it is a great material and easy to use. It is hard wearing and has given both the previous roofs I have created with it a water tight and smart finish.
I will try and dig out some of the pictures of the other two roofs that I used this Coroline corrugated bitumen sheets, as I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone needing a roofing material for a similar application.
I decided to use the Coroline corrugated bitumen, this time for the shed roof so that it will fit in with the garage and the garage extension, the shed does not really need the protection that this material will give, but the cost difference between this and a roof of felt is fairly small and Coroline will look a great deal better.
I have also patched up some areas that had been damaged by squirrels and have treated the timber to give it a fresh look.I have added some fascia boarding under the new roof just to finish it off, I will paint this black again to fit in with the garage.

I have been looking at using Coroline roofing for my car port and found your post while doing some research, I would be interested in knowing how you did you garage roof. How did you support the Coroline sheets?
I have a wooden frame which had asbestos sheets on it. Obviously the asbestos has been removed now, but I am worried that the Coroline material will sag between the bars on the wooden frame.

I used sterling board over the roof rafters to provide a base to the Corolone roof which worked well. Even good enough to walk on. One of the projects I used it for was a lean-to garage over which was a ‘fire escape’ window so the sterling board gave the strength and the Coroline gave the waterproofing.
