Moving on for my "Pit of Despair" thread, SWMBO has expressed a desire for a shingle roof. I've had a bit of a Google and it seems straightforward, but most suggest using "sheathing" as the substructure. It seems more straightforward to use OSB as per a shed roof (as that's pretty much what it is). Is there any reason not to?

And anyone got a good supplier, and any hints and tips...

Here's my original thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I'm planning to clad the walls in waney edge wood and build a small cedar shingle roof over for a wood store.
