EDPM Roofing

[pimpdaddydog123]

Hi chaps.
I need to replace the roof on a small garden shed which is approximately 4 metres x 4 metres.

At the moment the roof is just tongue and grooved board covered in roofing felt which is nailed down.

The boards are rotten so my plan is to strip the olf roof, re-board with OSB then use EDPM as the final finish.

I've never used it before and wonder will it work on a pitched roof of approximately 45 degrees?

If so how do you deal with the ridge?

Many thanks!!

Yes perfect for any roof, fit a baton under edge to create drip or use purpose made trim .

Do both sides separately then glue a strip over the ridge.

Why?

Shed roofs are rarely perfectly symmetrical, doing it this way reduces wrinkles.

Rather wrinkle than a leak .

Why would it leak, I'd go for a membrane up each slope and a membrane connecting the two, fully bonded of course as it's a sloping roof.
