Re-Roofing 30x40 Shed
I have a 30 depth x 40 width semi flat roof shed with a 2.5/12 pitch. The OEM roof has lasted some 50+/-years(?) and is slowly blowing off/spiting nails, rusting away. The building is salvageable.
Currently, I m repairing/replacing any structural wood and purlins boards in need of, as required. In addition, re-leveling the structure best I can. The leveling won t be perfect, but better than it current is.
Next year (spring 2020) project will be to re-side all walls and build new sliding doors with metal rib-metal sheathing over the weathered existing pine TG. At that time, I will be shortening the back wall to a 24 depth. This wind/weathered battered (western) wall is the worst condition of the entire building. Besides that, 4-1/2 of the building is "technically" on the Neighbor s land, which isn t a problem as legally all is good, plus having great neighbors helps. I just feel this is just another reason to to shorten up the back wall.
I m currently building a new header (pole construction wall vs the existing footer/block fountain) to support the lower end of all rafters (which will also assist in leveling).
MY QUESTION:
Before purchasing/installing my metal roof, what suggestions can be offered on the sheathing length?
2 thoughts at this time.....
Although theses are not my actual measurements, just to provide an example.
1) Would you purchase 30 length, then "shear" off what s not needed when new construction begins in 2020? Or.....
Would you purchase 24 pieces, then slip/tuck in a +6 piece to cover the remainder?
This building will always be a shed, so just trying to keeping costs at a minimum. Although the OEM had no vapor barrier underneath the metal and instead of me buying/installing all the fancy barrier stuff out there, would/could a simple layer of 30# roofing felt provide some protection?

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
