I am just finishing up the roof of my daughter's playhouse using 3 tab shingles and replacing the leaky cedar shakes. We have a new granddaughter so the playhouse will be needed fairly soon. Our house was done with the architectural shingles about five years ago and they are supposed to be 30 years plus. Having said that the previous 25 year ones have come and gone so if you go these kind of shingles then the architectural ones with the longer life are the best?

I found the three tab shingles are easy to work with and I would think that architectural ones are easy too.

Metal roof? I have always wanted a metal roof as they are long lasting and I like to hear the rain hitting the metal roof. Having said that if you need to get on the roof for whatever reason I would imagine it would be super slippery. Regular tar shingles on the roof make for easy walking on the roof when I clean the eavestrough out. Hopefully somebody else will chime in with some ideas.

Cheers, Guy
