Felt on shed/hutch roofs.

des_enzano · 12 Oct 2008

Over the years I have put felt on the roofs of a shed and a couple of hutches but never been entirely happy with my efforts as the felt never looks really flat and tidy. Also, the corners are not as neat as they could be.

Obviously I am doing something wrong and wonder if someone could take me through the procedure so I can learn the correct way to apply the stuff.
Maybe it's just a case of practice makes perfect but it's really annoying me that something as apparently simple as this should give me problems.

Thanks

des - check out Wickes Good Ideas Leaflet 64 here:

http://www.wickes.co.uk/content/ebiz/wickes/resources/images/gil/64.pdf

go the page 9 ... all about felting sheds, including corner tucks. The secret of the corners is you have to produce a type of 'hospital' fold at the corner.

Have you considered felt shingles? Easy to lay on a slightly pitched roof. Look great. Just finished doing my workshop roof with them. Look bl00die marvellous!

Shingles certainly look good toptec, I will seriously consider those, thanks.
