Response to The barn roof blew off - What kind is best?

I would use "tin" if the cost was within your range, as it is long lived, fireproof, a good surface for collecting rainwater, and goes on pretty fast. We had our barn re-roofed 10 years and used shingles (asphalt) because that was easier than tearing off everything and putting up metal, and it has dormers, cupolos, etc, that would have been hard with metal. But I did the chicken and machine shed with metal sheets as it was all straight sections and the old stuff all needed to come off.
