For best results take all your photos in landscape view with the volume control button at the bottom of the camera. If you have photos that have been taken in other orientations, then try bringing them into iPhoto and uploading them to the forum from there

I know it's in common usage, and I know I am being pedantic, but what you were proposing previously was not a pent roof. It was a flat roof or a mono-pitched roof. A pent roof is built against an abutment.

I guess I would run the cable horizontally around the top (or maybe the bottom) of the shed with drops down (or up) the frame for sockets. Any concern over weakening the 2x4s?

Thanks.
I'm currently looking into roofing materials and basically want some kind of lightweight sheeting on top of OSB3. I've found some "Corotiles" which look similar to what you fitted. I think they claim a guarantee of 15 years so presumably the life expectancy is around 20 years.
I recall you use Anduline but I don't see them stocked anywhere so can't tell what the claimed longevity of them is. Any thoughts?

"If any part of the building, container or enclosure is within 2 metres of the boundary of the
curtilage of the house, then the height limit for the total development is restricted to 2.5
metres if it is to be permitted development."

Why don't you build your roof with a normal overhang, then just under the eaves start a new lightweight roof with a separate light frame supporting it, so that if the council stamps its foot you could just remove the secondary structure without doing additional work to your main building.
