Plywood Roof System
Plywood Roof System:
When you add a shed to our shopping cart the price will default to a Standard Plywood System. ½” thick plywood will be cut to size to fit properly on your rafters overhanging on front, rear and sides. Fasteners are included to secure plywood to roof rafters. You will need to purchase, at your own expense, the type of roofing material suitable – such as asphalt, metal, slate or solar.
Advantages:
- More cost efficient, able to satisfy possible building department by-laws
Metal Roof System
Metal Roof System:
If you have decided on our Metal Roofing System, the following materials will be included with your shed kit:
- 1×4 Western Red Cedar Roof Battens (cut to length)
- 26 gauge Drip Caps
- 26 gauge Galvalume Roof Panels
- 26 gauge Ridge Caps
- All necessary hardware to attach the roofing system correctly
Metal roofs are designed to attach to roof battens. Battens are supplied and cut to fit so no dangerous and time consuming cutting will be required.
Once battens are attached, install the Galvalume drip caps to front and rear facia.
‘Galvalume’ is similar to galvanized steel and is a hot-dip process. Instead of using 100% zinc as in a galvanized roof, the dip is 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon, providing additional weathering protection.
- Zinc bonds with the steel surface to create a barrier for corrosion-causing moisture
- Aluminum naturally resists corrosion and reflects heat
- Silicon enhances the adhesion of the coating, keeping it in place when the steel is rolled, stamped or bent
Simply lift and secure precut Galvalume Roof Panels onto battens and secure with included self tapping screws.
Galvalume weighs 100 to 150 pounds per 100 square feet and contains about 35% recycled steel post-consumer content.
To complete, place Galvalume Ridge Cap on the apex of the shed and secure with supplied fasteners.
Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof System
Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof System:
If you have decided on our Western Red Cedar Roofing System, the following materials will be included with your shed kit:

- Seam Filler Shingles – our proprietary designed Filler Shingles are included to be attached to roof panels to create a seamless and tight roof
- Western Red Cedar Roof Ridge Caps
- All necessary hardware to attach the roofing system correctly
Shingles will have a 6 ½” exposure to prevent premature cupping and deterioration of the shingle.
Simply lift each panel up and place on roof rafters. Attach each panel and then position our proprietary filler shingle in roof seams.
To complete, position roof ridge caps on roof apex and attach with supplied fasteners.
