I was going to fit traditional sisalation paper however after some research it became apparent that blue and silver sisalation is old technology and has been replaced with bubble wrap like insulation.
A roll of "Air Cell" insulation and aluminum tape were purchased off ebay. The plan is to also use it on the walls.
The insulation was cut to length on the ground and secured with shade cloth "nails".
Underside of the Air Cell
Air Cell insulation was overlapped and the join covered with aluminum tape. Note that the Air Cell overhangs the lower roofing batten so that condensation can drip off without wetting ie rotting, the batten.
As I am constructing the tiny house without assistance, I have had to develop ways to compensate for lack of hands. In the case of fitting the sheets of roofing iron, blocks were temporarily nailed bottom roofing batten to stop them sliding down while securing them.
The first sheet of roofing fitted.
. . . . . and the second.
