Hi all
I've just finished building a summerhouse and I started putting the "shingles" on the roof.
Before the shingles I fixed this waterproof underlay to the roof (http://www.screwfix.com/p/protect-a1-roofing-underlay-1-x-45m/31795)
I started adding the shingles but suddenly had a thought that the black rectangles on the shingles are maybe supposed to be above the felt tacks to stop water getting to them??
Or then I wondered if the felt tacks are actually meant to be nailed through the black rectangles so that the gluey stuff waterproofs them?
Now I'm panicking that I've wrecked the roof of my summerhouse and want some advice before I carry on as to how I should be doing it and whether I've knackered the roof? (I added the bit about the waterproof underlay as I'm hoping that would at least help keep the rain out if I've made a mistake with my shingles).
Here's how I *was* doing it....
And this is how I changed it.....?
A big thanks for any help / advice you can give me.
I've stopped the job now and covered the whole thing with a tarp to keep the rain out.
Thanks again
John
