Default Re felting shed roof ..

Hi All,

My old 10' x 6' shed (18th birthday present from the parents and still
in their back garden) has stared leaking (so Mums tells me, she now
uses it to store garden toys for the grandchildren and garden
furniture etc).

AFAIK it's not been done since I did it at the time and that was 32
years ago now ;-(

For the time being I'm probably going to sheet it off but what's the
current best thinking re flattish shed roofs please?

From memory it is just flat with a rearwards fall (to a gutter) and
treated battens (~ 4" x 3/4" ) on edge round at least 3 sides.

All the best ..

I would use heavy duty shed felt, obtainable from shed builders. One roll
for about 20 quid should be plenty. If it has only just started leaking then
the wood should be OK.
