5. Roof Summer Garden Buildings – Octagonal Summerhouse 272
Lift 1 large roof panel onto the back wall panel and the other large roof panel onto the door panel. Position between the top of the 2 roof panels the roof centre support. With
a second person holding the centre support start adding the small roof panels. With all the roof panels in position move the centre support slightly up and down for the
panels to settle. Making sure all the panels are level, nail through the roof segments into the top frame of the wall panels using 2 x 65mm nails per panel. From inside the
building secure the framing of the roof panels together using 2 x 63mm screws per join.

6.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. Lift 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 on the right side of each large
roof panel, ensure it overlaps the felt pieces either side and secure down 1 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.
