Just adding my thoughts here, I have a similar shed, and they are very very sturdy. I am well over 200 pounds and I believe I could stand on its roof, especially around the perimeter. Not that I would want to, but I could. I don't see in the attached manual where it gives a 20 pound/square foot limit but if so, for that shed area roughly 20 square feet, that's a 400 pound rating. The roof is not just "decorative" as the author states. Of course it might not hold 400 pounds in the middle, but you get my drift. I'm not a structural engineer imho most residential home floors are rated for 40 pounds/ square foot.
The author has taken the 20 lbs/square foot rating out of context imho.
This shows the shed dimensions.

I'm not disagreeing with his article, only that one thing I believe he is wrong.

Also, if he accessed the roof from that shed he wouldn't need a ladder imho. Any wiry 20 yr old kid could scramble up and on top of the 6 ft shed, then from there the the next 6 ft to the roof (looks to me the wall is 12 ft). I could do it if I really wanted to get the frisbee and I'm 63 yrs old. But that's another story ;)
