For more information on shed roofing materials, get in touch. Felt is an extremely lightweight material, which means it can be used on a number of weaker and less structurally sound buildings, such as garden sheds and outbuildings without any concerns that it will be too heavy. Easy to install

If required, add another roll or two of felt to ensure the roof is completely covered. Always ensure there is at least 5cm of overlap between each sheet, and nail down the felt from the centre outwards as before. 6. Spread adhesive

Rolled roofing is very adaptable and can be cut into 12-inch by 36-inch strips to act as hips and ridges or 9-inch strips for eaves and rakes. To set the first row of shingles you will need to trim some material from one edge of the shingle strip before fixing them at the eaves. With the square butt shingles, this should be 125mm. Or if using fishscale shingles, trim off 100mm. You’ll need to do this for all odd-numbered rows.

Access to your shed roof is needed to carry out the waterproofing. You’ll need a good ladder or a tall step ladder. Be sure the roof is strong enough to work off when you’re cutting the roofing materials. Think safety first. Pat down the surface with a trowel, or by walking on it. This will help to ensure there is a tight fit and that all three layers of felt are bonded together. 10. Add the final layer of adhesive and gravelNow lay the roofing felt out across the roof, or dry ground, and leave it there for half an hour. Once it’s been rested it should be easier to manipulate and fix into place. 4. Lay the first piece of felt The bottom edge of each should just overlap the top of the cutouts in the shingles beneath it. For square butt shingles, there should be about 145mm of each tab exposed. Or if you’re using fish-scale shingles, leave 135mm. Spread adhesive on the second layer of felt as before, and then place the final layer of felt on top. Again, ensure there are no air bubbles, there is at least 5cm of overlap and there is also overlap around the edges of the roof. 9. Smooth the surface Our range of roof shingles encompasses felt, bitumen and cedar options, so you can choose the right material for your roof. Shingles in our cedar range include Western Red and Eastern White, or for an impressive finish, you could opt for hexagonal tiles over the more traditional square.

Felt is an incredibly popular roofing material amongst DIYers and roofing professionals due to its ease of installation and budget-friendly costs. Felt roofs are most commonly used on shed roofs, garage roofs and other outbuildings, but can also be used on flat roofs such as on small extensions and porches.
