Step 14:

FELTING THE ROOF

•  Roll out felt along lower part of roof, leaving sufficient overhang to fold down onto roof edge.

 

Note: Do not fold underneath roof.

•  Use clout nails 

(C13)

 

to tack top of felt section 1 to the roof panels. Repeat for felt section 2.

•  Fold the overhanging felt at ends under roof panel and tack in place.

•  Felt section 3 should overlap the lower strips and tack into place.

ROOF COVERING OPTIONS

All Tiger buildings are designed to use 

TigerFelt

®

 high grade poly-backed durable mineral roofing felt. If you 

have chosen a different roof covering option – such as EPDM rubberised roof covering or Cabin Shingles, please 
see their separate roofing instructions available on their product pages at 

tigersheds.com

. Please note that for 

Shingles, we recommend still using the felt roof cover as an underlayer for the shingles to improve weather 

resistance yet further.

MAINTENANCE

To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL that your building is treated with 
a suitable wood preserver or paint AFTER assembly, both internally and externally. For the continued protection 

for unpainted areas of your garden building we recommend maintaining your timber treatment with 

TigerSkin

®

 

preserver. This solvent based wood treatment will penetrate deep into the wood giving years of protection 

against the weather and also enhance timber grain with a rich long lasting protection. A water repellent formula 
which is harmless to plants when dry, it is available in a wide range of colours to refresh the look and feel of your 
wood. Discover more at 

tigersheds.com

.

SETTLING IN

Once the building has been erected, the timber logs and framing may need to settle and acclimatise to the 

environment, so we would suggest that the door and window fittings are temporarily loosened (but not removed) 

to allow for this.
