Hi all
I built a new shed the other week, 6x8 with an apex roof. I used the supplied felt and clout nails and followed instructions to a T. Even used a ruler to ensure all the nails are exactly 150mm apart etc. When I put the felt on it was perfectly flat on the roof, no bubbles, no ripples. But after the first bit of rain we've had I've now got a ripple running down the middle. How does this even happen when it's all nailed down!?
I've read the felt that comes with sheds is terrible anyway so I might redo it. Anyone recommend a good dark shed felt? Also i never used any adhesive, should you cover the wooden shed roof with felt Adhesive as well as using nails? Will this eliminate all ripples?
Thanks!
