Bob is quite right, do not use steel as it will rust your tools. My garage roof is plastic covered steel profile and it's a winter nightmare. I'm hoping to replace it with light weight tiles which will require extra woodwork.

Any tiype of corrugated roofing *or board and felt anything other than metal, unless you don't mind condensation throughout the winter rusting away all your tools. *for boarding you may have to re-inforce the roof structure as it would be heavier than the asbestos. Metal fine in a hot country but unless you paint the outside white to reflect some of the heat i'tll be hot in summer.
