Hi all, (wish we'd been wrong about the end of the world)

I'm trying to persuade my partner that we should build our bike shed out of round wood timbers from the nearby plantation, she says that we need to buy cut timber for the roof so that it connects intimately with the roof. does anyone have any pics or plans they could share to back me up?

ps off-grid and so no power tools

How about using shingles / shakes for the roof?

There’s some great examples here:

have you seen the greenhouse movie?  https://permies.com/greenhouse

or the berm shed movie?  https://permies.com/berm

Both of these use round wood for the roof.
