Andik81Our current garage roof (see first photo) is leaking and needs to be replaced. The garage is only used for bicycles, tools, and similar items.
What is the best solution here? Sandwich panels? Corrugated sheets? Trapezoidal metal sheets? Or do you have another recommendation?
Additionally, we need to replace the wood at the underside of the roof overhang (see second photo). What would be a good alternative here? Plasterboard? OSB boards? Or something else?

You can have them cut to the required length or buy them as ready-made panels. And for the roof structure, use wood again. Drywall and OSB are not suitable for outdoor use.
