Face Nailing roof
I have a garden shed that I need to re-roof. I put roll-roofing on 10
years ago and during one of our wettest winters of all time this year, it started to leak. I followed the instructions to a "T" when I did this in 1996.....But in talking to a roofer, he asked if I "face-nailed" the roll roof. I had to ask him what he meant, and he explained that was when bare nail heads were left exposed. Well, yes, I did, although I covered each nail with that black roofing tar stuff. Anyway, as mentioned I followed the instructions on the roll roofing and they showed face-nailing, but didn't mention the tar, that was my own idea. The roofer laughed and said, "yeah, they do say to face-nail don't they." He then said if I hadn't face-nailed, I might have gotten another five to seven years. Since he wants $700 to three-tab the roof, I thought I'd go back to the $40 roll roofing job and do it myself. But, If I don't face-nail, how DO I do this. I looked in the roofing books at the local library, but they don't seem to cover roll roofing. |

Buy a couple bundles of jet shingles. Laid like 3 tabs without the tabs.

OK, this is starting to make some sense. This is an easy roof, no
hips, valleys, etc. just a staight line of plywood on a slope... I start at the bottom, use this mastic stuff to keep the bottom edge stuck down and then move upward right? Do I nail down the top of the starter and then overlap that with a second sheet that is stuck down with mastic, etc.? When I reach the top, the top edge is then stuck down with mastic once again -- ?? -- any overhang? |

Otherwise follow the direction to glue down the bottom 6" of the roll roofing. -- Colbyt One picture can be worth a 1000 words. Post yours at www.ImageGenie.net for FREE. |
