Ok, sounds good.

I did a little research on octagonal roofs. Here's a closeup of a finished roof. Looks like your roof needs to have shingles over the corners like in the picture.

Thanks Robert. Using real cedar works wonders.

The whole project looks great. Nice job on the shingles. I have found that if I put an x brace on the underside of the sub roof it helps keep roof flat. Here is a picture. I use 1/8" stock for this.
