How to re-roof a shed with Onduline corrugated roofing sheets

- Here I show you how easy it is to re-roof a shed with Onduline roofing. When I built my garden shed in 1987 I used Onduline corrugated roofing following the recommendation of my builders' merchant. It has lasted 26 years and so I have now replaced it with the same product and expect it to last at least another quarter century.

Great Video Peter Thank's for taking the time to film it,
My moms roof came out super. Your video helped very much thank you!!! Your video explained how to fix the roof very thoroughly!!!
Do you know what...this is so useful, thankyou so much! Especially the tips about using screws instead of nails and also how to finish the eaves. I'm just waiting for a break in this horrendous weather we're having to get out and put the new roof on my shed build...I'll probably end up on top of the shed on Xmas day at this rate....Very useful and very clear Cheers!
Great product, great shed, and a great video. Good job Peter.
Take care
Mike
Fantastic video Peter. I was about to start putting on Onduline roofing sheets with the 200+ nails supplied by the dodgy shed company, but your point about drilling screws in rather than hammering in a nail makes a lot more sense. If I need to get them out, I can simply unscrew them. 'Taking your time' is another favourite of mine. There is no point rushing this job, especially if one wants the shed to last a very long time.
Good decision - they are slightly more expensive than the nails but worth every penny. Cheers. Peter
Thanks for your video. it inspired me to change my roof. I followed what you said and all went to plan today. I appreciate your time doing this video. great
Brilliant - no more roofing for at least 25 years ! Peter
Enjoyed everything about this video production. This roofing repair was particularly well explained. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to give the very kind feedback. Peter
Excellent! Thank you. Keep practising the ragtime piano!
This is a better tutorial than the Onduline tutorial.
The roof looks very good! I'm about to re-roof my carport which I built in timber many years ago. I'm impressed that your roof lasted so long and as I live in the mountains of Wales, where the weather is sometimes very harsh, I think this material will be perfect.
Make sure you note the wind direction as the Welsh rain can be quite penetrating ! Peter
Ok I followed your advice Peter and used Onduline over the old felt on my cabin and then on my workshop roof. It is really easy to use and fit and so stunning to look at. I am so glad I followed your advice thank you.
+Brian Cusworth Hi Brian, I have complete faith in Onduline as I have, in effect, been testing it for 30 years now. I am delighted that you are so pleased and so grateful that you have taken the trouble to let me know. Cheers. Peter
Excellent British chap explains how to properly install Onduline. Knighted by the Queen on 22/03/2021 for service and information to the Commonwealth. Blimey I have to do this - probably single handed on a sloped (but fortunately existing boarded and tarpaulined) roof of a garage so thank you Monsieur Petre !
Hi Johnny, Many thanks. Peter
Great video that explains everything a new DIYer should know about. Thanks Peter.
Hi Sherab, Many thanks. Peter
Great job. A very English and thorough video.
Hallo Peter, gute Arbeit. Excelente Anleitung zur Dacheindeckung. Greetings From Hamburg
Hi Johann, Many thanks - Danke. Peter
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Seven years on, hope your roof is still looking good!
Hi Marc, It is still perfect. Cheers. Peter
You've just confirmed what I'm going to do thank you mine have been up about as long as yours . And I won't be here in another 25 years to do it again smashing thank you
Hi David, Sound choice. Cheers. Peter
Was looking at onduline bitumen roofing for the first time. Thank you for such an informative video !
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant clear instructions. I did exactly what you did and you're right it is excellent stuff. I found your video very helpful thanks.
Many thanks. Peter
Like this guy
He’s a true British gent.
Love the boiler suit
excellent stuff. such an inspiration. Love that shed design too.
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant presentation Peter !!!
Hi Martin, Many thanks. Peter
Brilliant video, I've been looking for the best roofing material for a lean to at the side of my house
Just been sold on this after watching your video,
Hugely informative, thankyou
Hi Andy, Many thanks. Peter
Brilliantly done Peter. Loved the film and I use the same stuff too.
Hi Shaun, Brilliant. Cheers. Peter
Thank you for making this video, cheers from the US
Thanks for watching and stay safe. Peter
Really nice video - I like your style, articulate and very knowledgeable. Subscribed!
Hi Reiss, Welcome to The New Brit Workshop. Peter
Thank you for posting, I was trying to decide between several products. Im sold.
If I can help just ask. Peter
Hi Peter,thank you for a very informative video. As always a very comprehensive presentation.I have just used Onduline on my newly built shed. It really is a super product and I wish I had known about it years ago.Like you I used the screws rather than the nails. A super all round product.Thanks again.Best Wishes,Mark.
Hi Mark, Excellent. Many thanks for the feedback - it will help others to make up their minds. Peter
Brilliant video and very well made
Hi Tony, many thanks. Peter
Great video, Will be doing mine in the next few weeks, I'll watch again just before I start, Great help 👍
Hi Dai, Thank you for the feedback. Good luck and watch your clothes with the Onduline ! Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop
I will, thanks Peter 👍
Well done Peter. Top video
Hi Andrew, Many thanks. Peter
Many thanks, I will pass on your regards to the Queen when I see her next. Peter
I utilize your technique in Texas and it works pretty well. Hope to go back up to replace it after a quarter of century pass by.....
Love your style and I've subbed.
Great video. I'm renovating a 1960's house which had its original (very warped) corrugated asbestos roof on the garage. A roofing contractor quoted me £4,500 to replace it with an EDPM system which cames with a 15 year guarantee. The quote did however include disposal of the asbestos sheets. I've done the job for £500 ibcluding:18mm tongue and groove OSB boards which I sealed with several coates of Cuprinol Ducksback on which I laid the Onduline sheets. My local recycling centre will accept the old asbestos sheets at no cost but wrapped etc. The Onduline sheets also have a 15 year warranty and it's great to know that your original sheets were still keeping out the rain after 26 years.
Hi Michael, Well done. The typical cost of removal of asbestos from an average size farm barn is about £4k but most UK recycling companies will accept it wrapped with some charging and others not. You must be very proud of your efforts. Cheers. Peter
Love the videos straight to the point
Hi Philip, Many thanks. Peter
This was a brilliant well explained useful video. I was looking for help to decide what to replace my shed roof with that houses my Harley Davidson. So I need something that will be better than felt and it is also difficult to get at due to being next to another roof. This will work brilliantly. Thank you so much for sharing.
Good luck and take care on that magnificent bike. Peter
Well done video sir Thx for posting!
Welder6131 Cheers. Peter
Many thanks Mike. Peter
I wanted to separate out my reaction to your most splendid presentation from my ideas about the material. It was a pleasure to watch. MANY thanks and warm regards for this excellent video. It was clear, comprehensible, logical and well filmed. I really liked the part where you added color graphics to make the sequence of panel installation even clearer. Congratulations on a brilliant job!
Hi Mike, I am sorry that things are not as you would hope where you are - it can therefore only get better. I was determined to use Onduline again after the success (over 26-27 years) with the first batch. It looks great now AND we have had some near hurricane winds since. Thank you for the kind words. Peter
New Brit Workshop I am very pleased to report that I've found a local store with the American version of this product in stock! They call it Ondura and comes in several colors. I'll probably use the grey. I'm doing up the designs now and checking how much roofing I'll need. I'll be looking at your shed video for a tutorial -- THANKS AGAIN.
+Mike Nestle In order to be helpful, I would like to add that Menards carries this material in the states. I haven't found screws as you use here however which is unfortunate. I would prefer the use of screws for this application. Has anyone had a problem with a loss of color and if so how long before it was noticeable? I see with your application you chose not to use anything underneath. Is this a common practice in the UK or just because you were placing this onto a shed?
I have always used green and it does not lose its colour but after about 18-20 years it does darken and you will have seen the final colour of my old roof in the video. Yes, there is nothing underneath as it is a garden shed. A common addition is plywood with a damp proof membrane if the building is used, say, as a workshop. Good luck finding the screws the agent should be able to fix that. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop- First time I used Onduline was also some >20 years ago. Although with a major difference from your application.
Is that mine is used for what it´s best an under roofing layer. With traditional red clay roof tiles (Telha Lusa) finishing on top.
Well believe me I don´t expect that to need any attention in the next 30 to 40 years. ;-)
In fact I´m a bit surprised about seeing Onduline being used "as first and last layer". It wouldn´t be my first choice for that.
Anyway my next Onduline project (Portugal), in a few months. Will be the roof restoration of an old shed, with dry stack stone walls. According to the carving on the head stone over the door, it´s from 1856. I believe it was used to keep sheep trough out the 19th Century and part of the early 20th.
The Roman (Lusa) type tiles are from the same era and I want to keep them as much as possible. That´s where Onduline comes into play. :-)
Cheers
Fantastic video. Addressed all my concerns and questions regarding Onduline. Ta! Just subscribed as I very much like your easy going style.
Many thanks gppixelworks,
Onduline is a great product and the new roof has survived its first 90+ mph winds here in the UK. Peter
Thanks, great video.
Excellent, thanks for making this video.
Many thanks Alan.
Peter
Hi Barry, Funny enough, at the dump someone said that they could use some of it for a chicken hutch. I did damage the old sheets taking them off but it was all amazingly sound considering it had done 26 years. The new roof is superb (a lot better than felt) and will see me out. Peter
NICE AND CLEAR AND TO THE POINT..WELL DONE SIR
Glad it helped
Great video, thank you! I'm hoping to replace the felt on my shed using this product.
+dan watkins Hi Dan, You will be very pleased with the quality of Onduline compared to felt. I have been using Onduline for over 30 years, know many others using it and have no hesitation in encouraging you to do the same. Peter
Hi Greg,
Please feel free to use the video in your training sessions. I have heard of those other products but have never tried them out. Thank you for the kind comments.
Peter
Great video, clear explanation, thanks very much!
Glad it was helpful!
This video is amazing! Thanks for the help, subbed to the channel.
Many thanks. Peter
Very informative....will be trying this on my shed .
+Boris Cybagooseuk Hi Boris, I must say that I have been a fan of Onduline for over 30 years and have no hesitation in recommending it to everyone. I have lost count of the number of sheds and stables that I have used it on. Good luck. Peter
A TH-cam Gem. Really helpful video. Thanks.
Great video many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant thank you. My cabin needs re roofing and this is the way I shall do it.
+Brian Cusworth Hi Brian, Super - Good luck. Peter
***** Hi Robin I have done all our roofs now so I hope I don't need to do it for another 25 years. Thank you for your kind suggestion though.
Nice work
Many thanks Soloho. Peter
Always enjoy your videos..... Give my regards to the Queen.
Thank you Peter
This was perfect - detailed, informative and supported with personal experience and testimony. And.....BRITISH!
Well done. Exactly what I needed as I contemplate the expensive quote I have for a corrugated steel alternative. You have made Onduline look _very_ appealing. (And well done for doing your bit for nature with the bird and bug boxes.)
Thank you so much. Good luck with your roof. Peter
Great job@ I put OSB on my cabin underneath. It's extra cost but it keeps it warmer and you don't need purlins. I love your roof continuation for side storage. I'm thinking logs!
Sounds great! Cheers. Peter
Hey! I was thinking of doing the same. Did this leak for you?
Classy video. Classy guy. Thanks a lot.
Many thanks Howard. Peter
Very help-full
Brilliantly explain.. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks very informative. Just about to replace my Woodland Cabin that has felt on, its already failing after just 4 years.
Glad it helped
Last year I covered my shed roof with epdm 2mm pond lining sheet. Seems to be good stuff.
Excellent!
Just bought 21 panels to fix mother 's roof on her house. Great video
+tobar9561 Excellent - good luck. Peter
It's been 7 years now since I used those panels on my mother's house and they are still holding up just fine. thank you!
An excellent video, so well presented, thank you for sharing and going to sub. you.
I need to replace my shed roof and have been considering Onduline now I've decided that this is what I will use.
Hi Prince, My old one lasted nearly 27 years and the new one will outlast me. Many thanks for the kind words. Peter
Compared to many channels on YT yours is outstanding, I'm happy to have found you.
Peter, this is a great video. I currently work for Onduline in the UK and your video would have been ideal for my training as it really shows just how easy Onduline is to install. Have you seen the Mini profile and Onduvilla roof profiles we also do? These are also proving to be a great addition to our original range.
Best wishes Peter
Greg
Excellent! Cheers!
Thanks Peter :)
Really useful video. Thank you
Ye, after the wind we have had lately some people may be needing to replace shed roofs. Ours is still perfect !! Peter
Excellent , Thank you for taking the trouble to film.This is something I will do, however I have a Pent Roof Shed, so would have to modify the ridge pieces.
+Martin Pott Hi Martin, Good luck with the work. Thank you. Peter
This is an excellent video, that makes it all look very easy.
However, I also have a pent roof shed. It's currently covered with felt that has started leaking. The fall is apparently only 4.92 degrees. I'm hoping this is close enough to five. :) All the instruction videos and installation guides I can find are for apex roofs.
Once I take the felt off I will have exposed bare wood vertical eaves around all four sides. I can paint these the same as the rest of the shed walls (after attaching strips of wood to cover the joins.) Should I use one of the ridge pieces for the front to stop the weather getting under the roof and rotting the wood? Can I just screw down the sides or is it necessary to support the ridge (as appears to be the recommendation in the installation guide.)
Great video Thank you
Thank you too!
thank you!!!
glad i found this clip!
No problem!
Super! Bravo!
Seen people on Ebay advertising their old sheets rather than taking to the dump. Peter says the old Onduline was not leaking anyway so there may be a secondary usage for chicken sheds etc with a bit more overlap for peace of mind
Excellent Peter, my shed 10’x12’ has the original ridged sheeting and strange to say it’s 26 years old too. Did paint it a few years ago with a water proof but it’s tired looking. I had to pay at the tip for the DIY disposal which i did not know was expected. VMT. Good audio with out lots of ohs and A’s , you knows and wells. Lol.
Hi James, Many thanks - pity about the tip ! Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop I used the verge end sheets 1 m instead of wood facia . Looks tidy.
Excellent.
Great video Peter, I need to replace my roof soon. I like the design of your shed with the overhanging roof. My only gripe with this video is there wasn't a Festool in sight:)
Really liked
Hi Mandip, Many thanks. Peter
Damn straight video well done.
Many thanks. Peter
The previous owner of my house seemed to love this stuff. my 20x30 workshop was roofed with it. I spent a year chasing leaks including one area which was just porous. I removed the lot (it had to go to landfill) and replaced it with box section steel. Rigid, no problems and recyclable at end of life and pale grey underside is better inside. I also have a small garage sized building about 8 years old with the Onduline sagging between the battens (@ 600cc) and there are signs of leaks on the ceiling insde. I will get the new steel sheets cut to the exact length, much easier. Onduline is used on stables, but the roof is decked with OSB, the idea is that you get less noise when it rains and of course it can't sag. Oh yes, steel doesn't burn, Onduline...
Hi Martin, I have never had any sagging issues with Onduline but if people can afford the box section steel then all well and good. Cheers. Peter
You sir should teach very well explained thank you for a great video 👍
That's for sure !
Good sensible video 👍👏
Thanks 🙂
If it is any consolation, I built the small shed, shown in one of the stills, using my super Festool gear. The overhang was an after thought a year or so after the original shed was built. It was easy to do but not very cleverly done as I had a full time job and was on the road a lot in those days. Good luck. Peter
New Brit Workshop I like the overhang idea. I’m building me a man cave / she shed at the bottom of the garden and I might incorporate the overhand into my design and use it as a wood store. Thanks for the idea 🙂👍🏼
Very clear video of the fitting of Onduline roofing sheets. Many thanks.
Hi Chris, Many thanks. Once you have done one roof the rest are easy ! Cheers. Peter
Hi Olly, Onduline is excellent. Coroline is a less expensive product aimed at the DIY side of the market - it is thinner than Onduline and cannot be expected to last as long. The price difference is so small that I feel it is more sensible to get the better quality product - a genuine example of an a'porth of tar. Peter
Peter, MASSIVE THANKS for this 'how-to...' i'm doing my shed roof tommorow!
Hi Robert, How is it going? It is quite windy at my place today and so I hope you are okay on that roof. Peter
The best tutorial on onduline on the net
I followed your video 4 years ago and replaced the roof on my shed and it's been great, thanks Peter.
Hi Andy, That is brilliant - many thanks. Peter
Quicker to use a claw hammer to pull out the useless nails, put something in the dip to wedge against. I also fix from above, more recently with supporting boards. Fix battens to pieces of ply so that the battens sit in the Onduline groove, use two or three and you have easy access.
Super video! onduline for me!
Nick Llewellyn Many thanks Nick. Peter
Well done sir. Really well presented. Jobs a good‘un
Hi Paddy, Many thanks. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop I was glad to see you’d changed out of your wellies into some suitable footwear.
Good clear video and instructions thank you. I am looking to replace my garage roof. It is a compton sectional garage with an asbestos roof approximately 8m x 3.5m. The pitch is quite shallow about 15 degrees. The compton roof is supported by small angle iron strips so new purlins would be required over the whole roof. Would you recommend this product for my project and any other advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi John, Yes, a 15 deg pitch will be fine. You can attach timber to the existing metal purlins which may make the project simpler. Peter
Hi Peter, after searching through many videos of roofing i came across yours and what a breath of fresh air.The way you explain things and talk clearly with no loud music drowning out the narration please keep doing more.One question,I am constructing a lean to onto a brick garage wall and wish to use this product ,can i use the ridge pieces as flashing to chase into the brickwork as in traditional lead flashing? many thanks.
Hi Peter, I would not do that as they would not last for ever. Could you use lead instead ? Peter
First class real-life demonstration. Thank you.
Hi Mike, Many thanks. Peter
Hi Peter,
I would just like to say that I always enjoy your videos...keep up the good work.
Onduline....have you ever had any issues with condensation on the under/inside surface when using this product?
I ask as I am considering using this product on my shed come workshop.
Hi Ningis21,
I have never noticed any condensation at all but my shed eaves are ventilated (the wind can blow straight through!).
I doubt whether there would be any problems as Onduline has quite a good insulating factor. You will need some ventilation in your roof void, To be on the safe side take a look at the Onduline web site and for extra assurance, send them an email.
We have just had two sessions of really bad winds - the first saw gusts of 60-70 mph and then we had 70+ mph. My Onduline roof is just as good as it was when I installed it. I love the screw fixings.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Peter
Hi Tim, I think I prefer the traditional look of corrugated sheets. Peter
Same as Ondura here! I love this product! I am going to attempt to put it on a new roof on a deck tomorrow by myself. Since it is light weight and we have cut the sheets in half long way, I should be able to handle it. Going to surprise my husband. Working at camper. I use screws and the washers and will have to work from a ladder as well. He thinks I am just taking materials up for him while he has to work. Hope I can do it!
1065Olivia You need to check that everything is safe on the ladder and then on the roof. It is better to use screws as they are easier to fix. Good luck. Peter
New Brit Workshop I think the roof is safe I put it up myself. We decided to put a roof over the rest of our deck at the camper and I love construction work, anything with wood... so I have been going and also expanding it from 8' to 11'. I put up 8 foot privacy walls and the rafters and furring strips. Made 2 doors and fenced area for little dogs. Supposed to wait on actual roofing for my husband but want to try to surprise him and do it myself. I will be most careful. Thanks for your video! He gets to see all the work this week when they cut the water back on.
1065Olivia Good luck - he will be surprised and delighted. Peter
New Brit Workshop Well I put in a LONG day today and it was hard standing in between the rafters but I managed to get 90 % finished on the roof! Will finish up tomorrow when I go back. Your video really did help me to get it straight in my mind exactly how to do it. Thanks again! P.S. You should see how many people drive their golf carts by in amazement that a woman is doing the work alone. lol
1065Olivia Super - well done. Peter
Thanks for your vid I'm buying this for my gazebo roof
Hi Mark, Excellent. Peter
Very good informative video. You say your old roof wasn't leaking ........ I could have used them for my shed!! ;)
