Before starting this section remove the three triangular roof panels. Cut the 10m felt roll into three equal parts of 3.3m. Place a length of felt over the back roof section.
At each end and along the lower edge of the roof leave an overhang of felt enough to cover the felt battens. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the
felt batten using 28 x10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Tension the felt over the roof and secure along the upper edge using 7 x 10mm felt nails. Dress down the ends and
secure using 3 x 10mm felt nails.
Use a second of the cut pieces (3.3m) and position over the front of the
roof. Using the roof as a guide cut along the join between the main roof
and the hip roof as shown.
Once the piece has been cut carefully remove this felt piece from the roof.
