Probably, it's still bare wood at present covered by my silver tarp temporarily (rain coming today). Still got some guide strips and stuff to do but it will get some sealant and an undercoat or two first. I may still modify and attach the silver tarp as an extra protective and solar reflective layer. Easily and cheaply replaced every few years or so. Could even add an airgap under that for further insulation. The corrugated panels of the old roof could be useful after all.

It's an ill wind that blows no good they say and this has been a good opportunity for some improvements.
