Hi All,
Just thought I would post the latest pics from my observatory build. I've gone the roll-off-roof method, and have appeased the wife by saying she can have the roll-off section as a shed 
If anyone has any ideas how to remove the nasty bowing from the roll-off-roof, I'd be very interested in hearing 
Just have to finish the second roof, put the doors on, and do the trimmings to finish up. The full progress and pics is available at Building Pics

Welcome to Cloudy Nights! Glad to have you drop by.
Beautiful job on the Observatory! With the other part for your wife, it's a win-win situation 
Some of our builders will have to answer your question about the roof, I'm sure not qualified

Your observatory looks great. Could you post a picture of the bowing issue, it's hard to tell from the above image what might need to be done.

The bowing of the roof....I'd separate the wheels more, or put a set at each end and another in the middle.

If thats's all there is to the roof(?) I'd be happy for the sake of water runoff.  Mike
