Re: Construction Help
How much wind will your roof be subject to? The rubber type roof will work but if it will be subject to high winds you will need to "glue" it down using a bonding adhesive. The rubber roof will work on slopes down to 1/4" per foot so that won't be an issue.
The inexpensive rubber material (EPDM roofing) will not be a reinforced product so if it develops a tear it will rip open. If you decide to go this route make sure you use screws to put the plywood deck on your shed. A nail backing out will puncture the roof membrane, but may only cause a leak small enough to rot the wood where you won't notice until it's too late.
The material will be available from a local roofing distributor. It sounds like a 20' x 50' roll will give you more than you need for a single piece install. If you decide to go with a contractor tell them your interested in a single ply roof (EPDM, TPO, PVC) and see what they would charge.
