Built this new pallet based wood shed. Used osb based wood siding for the roof. Cost over $200 all said and done. Might put a tarp over the roof to keep it dry. All read y for some wood now.

Nice
If the roof is OSB better cover it
water is it's greatest enemy
will pop corn and fail with in one to two years
 
The roof is actually painted home siding material. Not sure how long this will last as a roof though. Was considering throwing a tarp over it anyways. Tarp hanging over the sides and front might also drain water better and keep it away from the wood.

I would slap some tar paper (30# roofing felt) on that shack and look for some discarded used roofing materials to finish it off. A tarp? Nah.
 
Not to shabby...
 
Just my two cents:

Keep an eye on craigslist, or an ear out around the neighborhood for anyone getting rid of an old pool. Make sure it's not an inflatable, or simply PVC. You want the big roll of steel.

Old pool = roll of metal roofing!
