7.Roofing felt
Over a small roof panel lay a triangular felt piece. Align the left-hand felt edge with the edge of the roof panel. Along the bottom edge allow enough felt to fold over and
cover the felt batten. The right-hand edge should overlap the next panel round. Once in position secure down the left edge using 4 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Roll
back the right-hand edge of the felt and attach another piece of felt in the same way as the first to the next panel round. Roll back into position the first felt. Repeat this for
all the small roof panels and in the same way on the left side of each large roof panel with the large left-hand felt piece. Position a right-hand large felt on the right side of
each large roof panel, ensure it overlaps the felt pieces either side and secure down one edge using 10 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. For each piece of felt, tension across
the roof and secure down the edge using 10 x 10mm felt nails evenly space. Fold down the bottom edge of the felt and secure to the felt batten using 5 x 10mm felt nails
per felt piece evenly spaced. If necessary trim of any excess felt along the bottom edge.

8. Bargeboards and finials
The two acorn finials centres are positioned about 90mm from the ends of the Roof cap. Secure the finials using 2 x 63mm screws per acorn. Position the roof cap centrally
on the roof centre block and secure using 6 x 50mm screws, screw through the roof cap into the block. Place the finial assembly onto the roof so that the roof centre
block fits in the hole. From inside the building attach the inside roof cover to the centre block using 6 x 50mm screws. Around the edge of the roof secure the bargeboards,
ensure the top edge of the bargeboards are flush to the roof line and secure each board using 3 x 30mm nails.
Important information - retain for future reference
Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To
VALIDATE
the guarantee, the building must be properly treated with a recognised
external wood preserver
WITHIN 3 MONTHS
of assembly and
RE-TREATED ANNUALLY
thereafter. The building must also be erected on 75mm x 50mm treated
wooden or similar bearers (These are not supplied with the kit.) Ground contact must be avoided.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose some
of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden
panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or
the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
