Whether it’s a garden shed, summerhouse, workshop or entrance porch, DIY building projects deserve a roof that’s built to last. Metrotile Aquapan has become a popular choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their outdoor spaces with a durable roofing solution that’s just as easy to install as it is to admire.
Designed specifically with DIY projects in mind, Aquapan combines the appearance of traditional panned roof tiles with the strength of lightweight steel, creating a weather-resistant finish that transforms everyday garden buildings into aesthetic, long-lasting structures.

Why Aquapan over roofing felt?
Garden buildings are often finished with roofing felt or other lightweight alternatives that can deteriorate over time, requiring ongoing maintenance or replacement. Did you know? On average, shed felt, the most common roofing material for garden buildings, will only last 3-5 years before starting to deteriorate or require maintenance. Metrotile Aquapan brings the durability of steel, and will last over 15 years whilst requiring zero maintenance!
Many DIY enthusiasts want a roofing solution that not only enhances the appearance of their project but also offers long-term protection without the complexity of traditional roofing systems, Metrotile’s Aquapan Roof Sheet can provide that.
Built with DIY in mind:
Aquapan has been developed to help homeowners confidently tackle roofing projects themselves. Unlike many conventional roofing products, Aquapan requires no cutting or bending of the roofing sheets, helping to make installation quicker, cleaner and more straightforward for DIY installers. Its lightweight design also makes handling and positioning easy, with its ability to be simply lapped both vertically and horizontally, while the pressed steel profile provides the appearance of a traditional tiled roof.
The straightforward installation method, lightweight nature and purpose-designed accompanying accessories remove much of the complexity often associated with roofing, allowing DIY enthusiasts to achieve a professional-looking finish with no specialist tools or experience; just board the roof, lay the tiles, and screw them in!
The result is a premium finish that’s suitable for a wide variety of outdoor buildings, including but not limited to:
