I am not sure how I am going to roof it yet. I need two more rafters, but not sure if I am going with PVC, metal or plywood/shingles.

I'm w/ Jags, metal if you can get it (I couldn't). Very light, fast/easy install, snow slides right off and lasts forever. I ended up with corrugated PVC. Worked well but doesn't look as good IMO. All you would need would be some 1x4 or similar perpendicular to your rafters.

I went 16" oc. That way you always have a "nailer" and felt I needed it to carry snow load since the PVC is pretty flexible. Still ended up with a very light but stiff roof. The material is screwed down and the fasteners have a gasket at the screw head to seal out rain. They worked good, not a leak anywhere.
