Been having another think on this project. The shed idea is to be self contained, all the computers, power etc out there out of my very tolerant wifes way. So part of the shed was always going to be covered by the roof so PC screens etc were out of the dew fall line.
There are also limitations by the positioning of the slab on the section and fences etc that made a RoRo roof a bit of a nuisance and they are hard to make and align so .....
I have worked out the simplest roof movement system ppossible. It only really applies to lightweight sheds but all it requires is a bolt pivot at one edge and the whole roof just pivots away 90 degrees and sits on the sheds top rails with maybe a little support to one side. Pivot point is about 700 mm up one of the longer sides of the shed and as it swings back it leaves a 700 mm overhang over the working desk area. With some simple framing that not only supports the roof but braces the walls etc I can fit the whole thing, roof swung back inside my slab area .. And the scope is actually in a better position on the slab.
I'll do a sketch and upload it, it's just too simple. Now I'm keen to get started.
