Hi Rob,

In 2008, I used 'surf mist' Mini-orb cladding, fixed to the timber frame with 30 x 16-10 Ripple Tek screws. Mini-orb is still sold today.

The observatory walls are 3.0 metres high, and from memory, each sheet was 860 wide.

Mini-orb looks great, and apart from an occasional wipe-down with a wet broom, it doesn't need any maintenance.

Cheers, Chris
