Hello, this is the current patio roof on the house I've purchased. I am assuming the silver is some insulation. It obviously doesn't look great so looking for suggestions on t he best way forward. Should I remove the silver liner (it's under some chicken type wire) or should I add some boards over the top to cover it? I was thinking maybe cement sheeting? Or is there a better alternate that would work and look nice? Thanks!
Thanks!
Might be a silly question, but would something like this be OK for battens? @EricL @JacobZ

Hello @ishkan
Although both timber pieces are treated, I believe you are better off with the 70x35 as it is produced for framing.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Evening @ishkan
That link I cant get to work, This is the closest I could find to what you were asking size wise. 70 x 35mm Outdoor Framing H3 Treated Pine - 2.4m
Yes I would use this for battens.

Thanks both
Just on nails again - @EricL @JacobZ - is there a nail gun you'd recommend for getting the Fibre Cement Nails in?
Hi @ishkan,
You can use a gas framing nailgun to install Hardieflex sheets. They take specific gun nails, not the clouts recommended for hammer driving. The only requirement is that they must be full-circle head nails and not D nails. Nails can be purchased when you hire the gun.
