ATTENTION:

TAKE CARE
WHEN TRIMMING 
THE ROOF FELT.

10

Unroll the felt and cut it into three equal lengths. Place each section so that they overlap at the 

apex and overhang on the eaves by approximately 50mm. Fix the felt to the roof using felt nails 

spaced in 150mm intervals along the edges and the seam. Make sure that the felt nails are 

positioned so that each locates into the batten on the eaves. 

Cut and fold the corners securing with a single felt nail.

Place the Barge Boards against the ends of the roof so that they meet at the apex and are flush 

on all sides. Fix each board in place using 3 x 35mm screws.

Eaves

Place the 504mm notched pieces (S) into the bottom of the window openings so that they are 

flush on all sides and fix each piece in place using 2 x 25mm screws.

 Position a 1250mm piece of glazing into the window frame before adding the beading, starting 

with the bottom 500mm piece and secure the beading to the framing using panel pins.

(V) = 6 x Panel Pins     (W) = 4 x Panel Pins

Place the completed roof sections on to the building so that the short sides line up with the end 

panels and the long edge is in line with the apex. Fix each roof section in place using 3 x 30mm 

screws for each end and 2 x 30mm screws for the side.

Repeat for the opposite side making sure that both sections meet at the apex.
