Roll off Roof Observatory

Hi All,

I am building a roll off roof observatory on my dark site property.

I decided to go this way because it is more cost effective than a dome and also IMHO a bit easier to use as I don't need a fully automated setup for visual only use.

Rough Specs:
-4m x 4m
-wall height of 2.1m
-Cement slab with pier
-fully insulated walls and roof
-Solar Power and LED lighting with Marine AGM Deep Cycle Batteries

My main concern is best way to seal the building against pests etc.

I am using verma seal around the wall and door bases which stops pests from infiltrating at ground level.

How are others going about sealing theirs at the roof line??

Cheers
