Get some tips for roofing your shed in this video. Green shed felt is available at all our branches.
This is how I covered my shed 12 years ago (well except for the adhesive, I didn't use that, just nailed). Completely watertight through the UK weather until last night when the storm winds pulled off the apex strip (should have used that adhesive). Watching the video to refresh my memory and see how I should repair, which I now know, thank you for taking the time to post.
Ooo yeah, you give good shed.
Best video for applying roll roofing that I've seen. Thank you! Answered all my questions I had :)
suits you sir.
Well presented and informative, will see tomorrow whether it is as easy as they make out and will know by April if it's effective!
I wouldn't even use this on my daughters doll house. So many things wrong with it, worst being nailing through the finish roof. Thats just asking for trouble because the nails will pop out with expansion and contraction even if you put mastic over it. I also doubt this system can stand up to a good strong wind. And don't get me started on the edges, yuck!!
what can be done to fix a felt roof that seems to have a bubble in it a few days after fitting?
This should be useful advice for our new chicken coop – unfortunately it just arrives, and it looks like the roof is going to be less than waterproof without some extra protection….
Decent quality felt is the key to doing a decent job
Very helpful and clear.
I cover all the timber with the bitumen before adding the felt as it hardly costs anything and provides a waterproof layer itself.
hallooo…roofing nails in roof…made specifically for felt they are short and have a larger than normal surface area to deter rain from entering felt and roof. (PS they've been used for many many years)
