7. Roofing felt
Cut the 5m roll of roofing felt into two equal lengths. Place a length over one 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 over the roof and secure
along the upper edge using 5 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for the second piece of felt on the other side of the roof. Once the two pieces of felt are in place position the
2.5m roll over the roof ridge making sure it sits centrally and overlaps the other two felt pieces, attach using 20 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced, along each lower edge
of the piece of 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 of the playhouse. When all the
felt is in fixed in position, trim of any excess.
9. Bargeboards and finials
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 using
3 x 35 mm nails 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.
8. Coverstrips
Fit a coverstrip into each corner of the playhouse, attach each one using 3 x 35mm nails per strip. The remaining two coverstrips are used to cover the join between the
two side panels on each side of the building, attach each one using 3 x 35mm nails per strip. Fit the front apex coverstrip over the join between the two halves of the front
apex panel using 3 x 35mm nails per strip. Attach the back panel coverstrip over the join down the middle of the back of the building using 5 x 35mm nails.
