    In the process of building a shed at the moment. It is roughly 15ft x 11ft built with 9" cavity blocks. I was thinking of a sloping roof sloping from back to front. Front will be ten courses high so how many courses would I need to go at the rear to get a sufficient pitch for the rainwater? I had planned on using concrete tiles on the roof. The brickie suggested 14 courses at the back. would this be a sufficient fall?

    Also what size rafters would I need?

    7 x 2 inch rafters.

    Why not go for non drip tile effect roof cladding instead.:)

    Thanks for the reply. What price is the cladding and do you get any condensation on the underside? Who stocks it?

    Thanks in advance :)
