Another 1/2 day at it, sorting the roof top - never done the likes before, tho think this will prevent any rain entering ?

The roof sheeting corrugations has been an unexpected challenge, tho once the remedy was seen, it was just a matter of doing it.
I employed a length of timber in this situation which serves two purposes, a) to fill in the gap, & b) to further secure roofing and the capping. the semi circle capping I scored from the roadside, 'council-kerbside-cleanup' about 3 months back, came in very handy !

Fotos tell the story :

Pic 1) A piece of cardboard to represent some 120mm wide angle flashing, which was my 1st original intention, tho as seen, this would not be very successful in a cross-wind rainstorm

Pic 2) After cutting, filing, rust proofing and paint/sealing the roofing cuts to accommodate the timber to slide inbetween, I then screwed the roofing to it, both sides, to reduce gaps and secure the timber in place. Then used clear roofing Silicone along the entire edges both sides, about 2/5th's a cartridge.

Pic 3) The Semi-Circle 'Capping' was then screwed to the timber at the Top, then each side to the roof-iron using hex-heads with rubber grommets. I also applied clear Silicone liberally to each screw after they were in place.

Pic 4) The semi-circle capping is looking like a pretty neat finish ?
I will be cutting some wood circle disc to cover the ends, maybe half circles , for final roof weatherproofing and to hide the ugly bits

Hopefully the Door will come together and be installed sooner than later ?

All the best.
