If the roof fails, the whole building suffers.
When people compare garden buildings, they often focus on the cabin walls and the price.
But the roof covering is one of the most important parts of the whole building.
It is what protects everything underneath.
In Scotland and across the UK, timber buildings deal with a lot of rain.
If the roof covering is poor, badly fitted or not suited to the building, you can end up with leaks, damp and damage.
That is a painful problem to fix later.
The roof is not just a finishing detail.
It is protection.
A good roof system helps the building last longer and gives you peace of mind.
When comparing quotes, ask:
What roof covering is included?
Is it suitable for the size and pitch of the building?
Is it fitted properly?
How long should it last?
What maintenance does it need?
Before choosing on price, make sure the roof spec is right.
