FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Fit the first full-length roof sheets starting with the back, you should start from either the left or right hand side so that the prevailing wind
direction blows over an overlap and not into an overlap (note 10ft deep shelters only need one full sheet to reach from eave to Apex). Ensure
the edge of the first sheet fits tight into the bargeboard on the gable end and ensure the overlap to back of building is adequate for water run-
off. Make sure you leave a 20mm gap back from the ridgeline, this gap will be covered by the ridge cap. Continue fitting the back run of sheets.
For 12ft deep shelters, fit the half sheet needed directly above the bottom sheet, noting a good cover of overlap and 20mm gap at ridgeline.
You should use 20 x roof nails per sheet.
Do not put a nail where the next sheet overlaps until the next sheet is fitted (allow min. one roll
overlap). Do not nail the top of the sheet at the first Apex purlin as this will be fixed when the ridge cap is fitted. You may need to stretch
sheets to fit the width of your stable exactly.
Repeat the above for the front section of the roof. Install ridge caps - nail through the bottom of
ridge cap flat section and sheet beneath into the top purlins either side of the Apex - thus fixing the top of the sheet previously left unfixed -
allow 70-100mm overlap between ridges, you should fix the ridge cap on every other top roll of the sheet below.
ONLY FIX THROUGH THE TOP
OF A ROLL - not in the gutter - ONLY BANG IN ENOUGH TO GIVE A TIGHT FIT OF THE NAIL CAP TO THE SHEET, OR YOU WILL DISTORT THE
SHEET PROFILE.
PLEASE NOTE - 10ft
deep shelters only use a
full sheet - the half
sheet shown in the
picture is not required -
the half sheet is only
used on the 12ft deep
shelter.
On 10ft deep Apex
shelters, a full sheet
covers the roof from
Apex to eaves.
