I just bought a small cabin on an island in canada that is only accessible by a 1.5 hour boat ride. What type of metal roof would you recommend for a DIY owner with 800 sf of 6/12 pitch roof to replace. Cabin was built in 1920s, and has original 1x10 sheathing across hand made 2x4 trusses. Thank God it is only one story. Remember, I need to bring the materials in by boat. Taud

I would look at the shingle and shake profile products that are on this site. Easier to transport and handle than long sheets. Also very attractive and durable. Todd Miller
