I have a puzzle to figure out. I want to scab together a temporary lean-to for the winter, just some rickety shack I can throw up in a week or two before the snow flies. I priced 2x4s and the cheapest plywood sheets at the local lumberyard and figure that I can do 4 walls of a 16x24x16 building for about 400-500 dollars.I figure I can assemble the walls as 8x16 panels on the ground and stand 'em up with a loader, bolting it together as I go. My design doesn't really account for a door yet but I just started thinking about this.
But a 2x4 frame isn't super heavy so I need to think of a relatively lightweight roof that's tough enough to handle whatever snow won't run off.
I am hoping to seal this structure up enough to park a woodstove in the corner for at least enough heat to not need gloves all the time. Even if I figure on laying plywood sheets above the rafters that won't add a lot to the cost but that would be flat enough the snow or rain wouldn't run off and that would increase the weight dramatically. So it needs to have some sort of roof to make the snow/rain go off.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
