Metal Roof Sheets for Sheds, Cut to Size
A shed roof is a small job, and the thing that makes it go wrong is almost always cutting. Trimming a metal roof sheet on site with an angle grinder leaves a hot, burred edge with the protective coating burned off, and that edge is where corrosion starts. It is also a slower, noisier and more awkward job than people expect.
Because we make every steel shed roof sheet to order, you send us the dimensions and the sheets arrive at the right length with factory-finished edges. For most sheds that means the roof goes on in an afternoon with nothing more than a drill and the right fixings.
Steel is also lightweight compared with felt and board, and you can choose from 16 colours. Our corrugated and box profile sheets both suit a shed, and the next section explains how to choose between them.
Which profile
Either works at shed scale. Corrugated in 13.5/3 is the traditional look, with a 990.6mm cover width. Box profile in CS32/1000 is squarer and more modern, and its deeper ribs feel more rigid underfoot when you are fitting it.
Shed purlins are usually close together, so span is rarely the deciding factor.
Pitch and overhang
Steel sheets need a fall to shed water. A very shallow shed roof holds water at the laps, so if you are building from scratch, give it more pitch than you think you need.
Let the sheets overhang the eaves slightly so water drips clear of the timber rather than running back along the underside.
How to Stop Condensation Occuring on a Metal Shed Roof
Condensation forms when warm, damp air inside a building meets the cold surface of a steel roof. A closed shed with a bare steel roof will do this in the same way a garage does, and the drips can end up on tools, a mower and anything else with a steel surface. It is much easier to plan for before the roof goes on than to fix afterwards.
Anti-condensation sheets
The most effective answer is to specify anti-condensation roof sheets, which include a bonded felt layer. If your shed holds tools or machinery, this is the option to look at first.
Ventilation
The cheap alternative is to let air move through the building. A gap at the eaves and a vent at the gable is a simple way to do it. It is not as effective as a bonded felt layer, but it is much better than a sealed box.
Which route suits you depends on what you store in the shed. Tell us what it holds and send us your dimensions. Every sheet is made to order and cut to your exact lengths, so there is no cutting on site.

What Coatings Do We Offer?
We always recommend our PVC Plastisol-coated sheets due to their cost-effectiveness and excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Polyester-coated sheets are also a high-quality, versatile option suitable for both box profile and corrugated roofing sheets. However, care must be taken to avoid scratching during handling and installation.
ROOFING SHEET APPLICATIONS
Multi-Purpose Roofing Sheets For All Applications
There is a large variety of use cases for our metal roofing sheets, and we have an extensive range of styles, sizes and colour combinations to suit each customer's individual needs.
Agriculture
Corrugated metal roofing sheeting is synonymous with farming and traditional barn roofs.
Stables & Field Shelters
Stable roofs are small, so the choice of profile is mostly about appearance and matching what is already on the yard.
Industrial
For unheated storage and distribution space, single skin steel is usually the simplest warehouse roofing.
Garages
A common reason to fit a metal garage roof is to replace corrugated cement sheet that has reached the end of its life.
Garden Sheds
Roof or clad your garden shed with corrugated steel sheets cut to size, in galvanised, polyester or plastisol finishes and 16 colours.
Garden Buildings
Garden buildings range from a basic tool store to a fully heated office, and the roof specification should follow how the building is used.
Carports
A carport is the one structure in this range where condensation is rarely the problem.
Lean-tos
Metal lean-to roof sheets have a mono-pitch roof that runs from a wall down to the eaves.
Caravans
Our caravan roof sheets are made from steel with a plastisol finish and are available in 16 colours.
