Your roof wood is luan (really thin plywood) and the sides are most likely filon (fiber reinforced polyester sheet).
The roof luan can be had from HomeDepot for $10 a sheet. Easy to cut and lightweight. It looks great stained on the smooth side too. Just hit it lightly with some 200 grit paper.
The filon is usually repaired like fiberglass, although in my writeup I show how I used some MarineTex and metal screen that resulted in a great repair for a couple of tears. I have a couple other spots that will get the same fix.
