You can’t see where I’ve painted? Three years on, and the barn roof needs a top up coat of plasticiser.

Lots of galvanised corrugated steel roofing around here, it’s relatively cheap, strong, easy to affix and indeed these panels weren’t new when the barn was built having been used elsewhere.

The downside of course is that the weather attacks it , but even rusty roofs are attractive, but more attractive are the painted ones.
