I’d consider using zinc on a new cabin. ( A standing seam panel.)

What Is Zinc?

Zinc has been used by European architects for hundreds of years because of its durability. It was also a popular roofing material in America, until it fell out of favor with the development of cheaper, shorter lasting materials such as asphalt. Now, homeowners and builders are looking towards zinc as an environmentally friendly, long-lasting roofing material.

Zinc is a naturally occurring metal, and is non-ferrous, meaning it does not contain iron. Zinc does not rust or corrode and takes very little energy to manufacture. It is also a very low-maintenance roofing material as it has self-healing capabilities.

Zinc is now a first choice roofing material for high-end new construction, upscale remodels, and historical renovations. …”

One that does not leak, no matter what it is made of. Unless it is made of spam, then I don't want anything to do with it.

I like metal roofs made from old spam can tins, peeled apart, laid flat and overlapped just right, works great.
