tin roof
Corrugated cabin topper
A tin roof is a roof covered with sheets of tin or corrugated metal, common on barns, sheds, and rural buildings.
The material amplifies the sound of rainfall—listening to rain on a tin roof—which some find soothing and others maddening.
Tin roofs are durable and inexpensive but can rust and are prone to leaking at seams.
