Abstract: In this paper we prove that any sheaf of modules over any topological space (in fact, any $\mathcal{O}$-module where $\mathcal{O}$ is a sheaf of rings on the topological space) has a flat cover and a cotorsion envelope. This result is very useful, as we shall explain later in the introduction, in order to compute cohomology, due to the fact that the category of sheaves ( $\mathcal{O}$-modules) does not have in general enough projectives.
