5. Roof assembly
As shown below construct a roof section using a left and a right hand roof panel and one small roof panels, screw together using 3 x 50mm screws for each of the two
joins. Assemble a second roof section in the same way. Lift the roof sections into place, Ensure the upper edge of both roof sections meet evenly at the apex. Nail the roof
down using 16 x 35mm nails per roof section, nail through the roof panel into the framing of the apex panels and the side panels as shown. From inside the building fix the
gussets to the rafters as shown using 4 x 35mm nails per gusset.

6. Felt covering
Unroll a length of roof felt and place over 1 side of the roof. Have equal overhang at the front and back of the shed and an overhang of about 45mm along the lower edge.
Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the felt batten using 30 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Tension the felt over the roof and secure along the upper
edge using 10 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this with a second piece of felt on the other side of the roof. Unroll and place a third piece of felt so that it over laps the first and
also folds over the roof ridge. Fix the edge overlapping the first felt piece using 30 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced, tension the felt and attach the side over the roof ridge
using 10 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Position the fourth felt piece in the same way on the other side of the roof and attach both edges using 30 x 10mm felt nails per
edge. Dress down the felt at the front and back and secure to the felt battens using 10 x 10mm felt nails at each end. when all felt pieces are secured in position trim off
excess felt.
