The standard roof is a traditional curved shepherd’s hut design, finished with a durable torch-on felt waterproof membrane. This provides long-term protection against the Scottish climate while maintaining the classic hut profile.
The roof extends approximately 100 mm beyond each side, helping to direct rainwater away from the walls and protect the external timber cladding.
Roof construction
• Curved structural roof frame
• Glass wool insulation fitted between roof timbers
• Plyboard roof deck
• Torch-on felt waterproof membrane with grey mineral finish
• Internal plasterboard ceiling
Performance & considerations
• Curved design allows effective natural water runoff
• Overhang helps reduce weather exposure to cladding
• Grey mineral finish provides a clean, traditional appearance
• Low maintenance, with occasional visual inspection recommended
• Built for year-round use in exposed conditions
A traditional curved corrugated steel roof that gives a classic shepherd’s hut appearance while offering excellent durability. Ideal for wet and exposed environments such as the Scottish Highlands, with minimal maintenance required.
The roof extends slightly beyond the sides of the hut to help direct rainwater away from the walls and protect the external timber cladding.
Roof construction

Performance & considerations
• Naturally durable with good resistance to rot
• Ideal for exposed or harsh environments
• Weathers to a silver-grey finish if untreated
• Can be treated to maintain original colour
• Low maintenance compared to standard softwoods
