Reply to "Creating roofs for buildings"

I constructed a 36" wooden building, very similar to your barn, as a replication of a former factory we had in town. I individually applied the siding after I constructed a complete post & beam frame from poplar I cut in my workshop. For the roof I used plastic pattern sheets. Since there is no real good way to join the seems of the plastic, I have three very distinct lines in my roof. For the amount of work I put in it, I am pretty disappointed. I probably will remove the roof, and have a printer print me a 36" long piece of paper with shingles on it, like Lee did, only longer. For the time & work that is evident on your barn, I would avoid plastic sheets, unless you get one that will entirely cover the area without middle seems.
