Yes All, I will fit one on the angle part which will be the entrance but I don't think you get offset couplings to return it to the other run off part, may have to fashion something.
Great advice here....

I know you've moved away from oduline ( there's a similar product called coroline which is very slightly different profile) but i would say that it works better if the roof is covered with ply first. I've come across a couple of jobs where the sheets have sagged over time. Even a sheet of 1\4" ply solves that problem.
One other thing concerns a guy i work for who has a hot tub. He has a roof over it , metal on 8 metal legs. The tub had developed a leak which meant it needed upending . The legs are fitted in such a way as to allow 2 to be removed to drag the tub out from under the shelter.

Have you considered shingles? They look really nice.

Hi again, not sure if the shingle option would suit the pitch as it will be quite shallow, as for dealing with leaks I would have to drain and partially deflate it to deal with leaks so the opening I have would be sufficient to get it out. I'm going for the metal it has a 980 mm cover so I'll build it to take 3 sheets wide.
Thanks for the input.

Correction.....wife is not pleased at all with my choice of metal roofing, she wants the same as the neighbour, clear roofing but I'm not confident at all cutting it, if I thought I could using a tenon or fine toothed panel saw I might have given it a try, using a power tool to cut it makes me nervous and so is the wife!

Also using a power tool would perhaps cause the plastic to melt through the rather than cut leaving a poor finish. An old saw would do the trick.
