Natural slates are both characterful and minimalistic. However, they are by far one of the heaviest roofing materials and therefore unsuitable for sheds and garden buildings. That is at least without significant structural support being added. 

Our range of shed roof slates are purposely designed for use on timber outbuildings. This is as they are manufactured from durable yet lightweight plastic, which can weigh as little as 12kg per square meter. 

Manufacturers such as Britmet and Tapco have worked tirelessly to ensure they offer the same impactful appearance of natural slates. Unlike traditional alternatives, however, they are virtually unbreakable and offer a lifespan of over 40 years. 

These shed roof slates are far more expensive than many other materials, such as sheets or shingles. However, they offer a truly unique appearance and unrivaled longevity. 

Benefits of Roof Slates

If you are reroofing a garden shed or garden building, slates offer a range of benefits. These include: 

• Suitable for timber-framed sheds and garden buildings 
• Easy and quick to install by homeowners and tradespeople 
• Produced from incredibly strong synthetic materials
• Available in a choice of colours to suit your personal taste
• Ideal for roof pitches as low as 10 degrees
