Yeah I was surprised to learn these fibre cement ones were 50kg each, overall it's significantly lighter than a tile or slate roof, but it's going to be a bitch to get into place. Roof and walls, 200-odd sheets.

Hopefully you are managing to get each side of the roof done in a single sheet length; trying to feather-in four sheets at one junction is a real ball-ache otherwise.  Don't ask how I know........

That and they're pretty weak structurally speaking and need a lot of below support.

 

Do wish I'd spent a bit more and gone for insulated sheets on the agricultural shed, but hey I'm not ripping them off now!.

A pair of 2.750 for every meter of roof, 18 of them, both sides... and the same for the walls... We'll be mitreing a lot of corners.

 

Look lovely when it's done. Maybe.
