Hi,
I'm in the process of building a 5x3m summerhouse. It is in kit form and I am just at the roof stage. The roof is constructed of 20mm tongue and groove planks which is then to be coated in felt.
The slope of the roof is 1 in 50 along the length (5m) and I am wondering would it be a good idea to waterproof the T&G planks before applying the felt due to the slope being quite shallow and therefore not allowing for rapid water drain off.
If so how would I do this? Liquid bitumen along the T&G joins perhaps?
Thanks
