cheapest non-flammable roofing

Depends on the environment. It looked alright on our coal shed in rural West Suffolk. A coat of tar-varnish every couple of years, and it just looked like all the other agricultural buildings.

I've been following this thread with interest.

How did you design yours? Is is a typical "standard" solution like those you can find on the internet, or something different you created?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "David WE Roberts" saying something like:

Between 10 and 20 quid a sheet, last time I looked. A mate bought some for his barn and had a lorryload delivered. A mixture of full-sized, about umm 15' long x 4 or 5' wide, and half-sized (8x5)(sizes vary according to memory dredge). Most were insulated, too. Struck me at the time it was a v. cheap way of putting a smaller shed up or simply roofing an outhouse. The big difference between this stuff and ordinary corrugated sheeting was the quality - a lot of normal corrugated is thin cheap shit and this stuff was excellent, especially for the money paid.

Racking my brains, I think he bought it via a small ad, but it was from some company that specialised in it, probably surplus from new-build factories of perhaps demolitions. Certainly, the majority of the sheets were in very good condition and many like new, just a bit of a ding here and there.
