Felt
Health and Safety – Use safety goggles when installing the roofing felt.
1. Before laying the felt, you will need to attach the back bargeboards with the 40mm galvanised nails.
As you can see there are two for the back – one at the edge of the roof and one on the underside.
These soffits may come in more than one section and may need cutting down to size with a saw depending
on which size shed you have chosen.
Be sure not to mix these up with the corner strips and cover lats which are to go vertically around the shed
in corners and covering joins (explained later).
2. Roll out the mineral roofing felt along the lower part of one side of the roof. Allow for sufficient overhang
to fold down onto the roof bargeboard (but not the underside roof bargeboard).
Health and Safety – Use Step Ladders to put on the roof felt but do not climb on top of the roof.
Ensure there is a second person to support you when using a ladder.
Note – If you are unsure on how to felt the roof please contact us directly for more information.
Please be aware, we cannot reimburse you if you choose to purchase additional materials
3. Use clout nails to tack along the top edge of the felt and into the roof board and the bottom edge of the felt
into the back bargeboard.
4. Repeat this process along the higher part of the roof.
Fold down the overhanging felt on the gable ends and tack this into place.
Finishing Touches
Important!
Take care not to tack into the
tongue and grove join between
each board as this can cause leaks.
