Fasten the shaped bargeboards to the front edge of the roof so that the top edge is flush with the roof line and the two boards meet evenly at the apex, secure the short

bargeboard using 3 x 35mm nails and the long board using 4 x 35mm nails. Nail through each board into the bargeboard blocks and end of the felt batten. Position the finial

centrally over the join of the two bargeboards and secure using 2 x 35mm nails. Attach the two plain bargeboards and a finial to the back of the building in the same way.

11. Coverstrips

Fit the large coverstrips in the corners of the large side wall secure in place using 4 x 35mm nails. The remaining two long coverstrips are to cover the join of the two large

side panels and back panels, position them centrally over the joins and secure using 4 x 35mm nails. In the same way attached two short side wall coverstrips in the corners

of the short side wall and the remaining coverstrip over the join of the two panels. secure each one in place using 3 x 35mm nails. Position the front coverstrip over the

join between the large window panel and door header panel. The strip should go up to the roof apex, fix in place using 3 x 35mm nails.

10. Roofing felt

Cut the roll of roofing felt into four equal lengths. Place a length along the short side of the roof.

At the front and along the lower edge of the roof leave an overhang of

felt of at least 45mm. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the felt batten using 20 x10mm felt nails evenly spaced.Tension the felt up the roof and secure

along the upper edge using 5 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for a second piece of felt on the large side of the roof. Add a third piece of felt higher up the large roof panel,

ensure a good overlap with the second felt piece and secure using 20 x 10mm felt nails along the lower edge of the felt, tension the felt up the roof and secure using

5 x 10mm felt nails. Once the three pieces of felt are in place position the final piece over the roof ridge making sure it overlaps the felt pieces on either side of the roof,

attach using 20 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced, along each lower edge of the felt. Dress down the ends of all felt pieces and attach to the batten blocks using 14 x 10mm

felt nails at the front and rear. When all the felt is in fixed in position, trim of any excess.
