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.
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.
5.
Fold down the overhanging felt on the gable ends and tack this into place. Front and side
bargeboards will cover any untidy edges.
