Okay from what I understand tins are the norm but roof felt is also used. Tins will give a better survey (open to other ideas)

What size is a "standard" tin?

cheers

Continuing on with the tins, I have been offered some small gauge tin but it is flat, From what I understand most people use corrugated sheeting.

 

What are the main differences between the two if any?

Hi Ian,

I doubt if anyone has studied the differences, why not give flat tin a go and see how well it works, perhaps if you can get some corrugated, you could do a comparison?
