Agree with Is Mise, but go 'Colorbond' to ensure acceptance by neighbours and likely building approval requirements.

I prefer 'Klip Lok' Colorbond for durability, but it may not suit the look of some domestic applications.

Whatever you do, choose a simple hipped roof with enough fall and adequate guttering+downpipes for downpours. Because extra valleys give rise to additional cost, sealing and maintenance problems (eg leaf collection).

If you are ever to be interested in solar water heating and/or solar panels, think now about whether the roof design will lend itself to that.

Maybe I should have asked first if you have a product to sell, Boris?

Is Mise what have you been doing for the last 50 years a Rip Van Winkle, "Galvanized corrugated iron" indeed! 'Colorbond', and the Aussie product, not the cheap Chinese import.

Hi I know about GI sheets, they are not completely corrosion resistant.
Guys what about TPO roofing, I heard that is an Eco friendly material.
