Roof Felting

Lay the first large piece of
roof felt onto the ply roof,
this should have about
50mm overhang at the
bottom of the roof. Using
the clout nails provided fix
the sheet to the roof.
When nailing you should
position the nail no more
than 20mm from the joint
in the ply sheets so the nail
goes into the roof bar. The
nails should also be no
more than 300mm apart
(diagram 53).
It’s a good idea to check
inside the building as you
go incase there are any
mis-placed nails that need
re-positioning.

Finally you need to cut two smaller pieces to go above the large felt sheets. Mark out the felt as
shown below in diagram 43. Once you have cut these you can fix the ply roof sheets you have been
using as templates.
