Hello,
I have just bought a carport with storage, with a mono-pitched roof. The problem is that I only received the "roof trusses" and roof tiles. The rest of the roof structure is missing.
I'm simply wondering HOW I should proceed once I have everything up and the roof trusses are in place?

I would be very grateful for tips and ideas as I lack sufficient knowledge to confidently choose the right way!:S

Nail on the tongue-and-groove boards, then lay approved underlay felt which you nail with galvanized felt nails, then install battens and then counter battens for the tiles. Visit websites like Benders or another roof tile manufacturer's site to see how you can do it. Don't forget to install eave flashings and gutter brackets before laying the tiles. Here is a link http://www.benders.se/Portals/0/LaggningBetong2009-12_LU.pdf
I thought of one more thing......
How should I attach the straight "takstolarna" to the wall elements? They are of course cut out to fit exactly, but I was wondering about the attachment specifically?
Any other smart tips that could be good to have when tackling this?

You mean how to attach them on top of the wall? In that case, you can attach them with reinforced angle brackets that you nail into the wall plate and the rafter with anchor nails. Another option is to pull wind brace straps over them, nailing each side into the wall plate on the wall. If I misunderstood what you meant, I apologize. By the way, here's a link on how you can build your roof http://www.traguiden.se/TGtemplates/popup2spalt.aspx?id=5174&contextPage=5950
You're welcome, always fun to be able to help 
Is there no budget-friendly version where you don't install a tongue and groove roof but just nail a heavier batten directly on the rafters? Then you would indeed be able to see the roof tiles from underneath. Or does the tongue and groove absolutely have to be there to provide stiffness?
You can make a light under-roof, using special approved boards and using a coarser bearing batten, e.g., 45*70. Check the links I've included, there's more information there.
Here you have a better picture of a light underlagstak http://www.traguiden.se/TGtemplates/popup2spalt.aspx?id=5263
"The budget version" without sheathing/underlayment but with board probably just saves time/labor and not much money....or?
I have built up the foundation for the storage part (and the long covered side) with concrete blocks that I have just placed and finished pouring.....turned out very well! The major assembly of the finished wall sections will start tomorrow, and I'm starting to get a bit nervous =S
Is there anything specific I should keep in mind???
In a couple of weekends, it will also be time to insulate the floor in the shed.....what's the best way to do this?

Don't know how much time the "snik-varianten" saves, but it's probably a bit cheaper since many house manufacturers use it. Personally, I would use råspont, I think it feels like it makes for a more solid roof. When it comes to the floor insulation, the best is probably to use byggrulle to avoid having so many seams in the insulation.
