Hi everyone,


I am making a Wendy house for my daughter, making the plans by
reference to Truini's book, "Building a Shed". Well, he does not tell
you how to make a Wendy house, but his instructions and plans
are adaptable.

On page 159, he refers to some ridge vent material, that comes in
a roll 10 inches wide. It looks a bit like a giant Brillo pad. Not
very
thick, but elongated and widened.... You leave
a gap at the ridge of your shed/Wendy house, unroll the Brillo pad
along it, and lay felt over the top of that. You partially squash it
with
felt and nails, but leave enough thickness for air to flow through.

I cannot find this Brillo-like material in the UK. Can anyone tell me
where
(or even if) it is available here? (The book is American.) Or is there
something else cheaply available that would do the job?

Screwfix sell something called Redi Roll at 52 quid for 5 metres. But
I
only want 2.5 metres, and I do not want to spend 50 quid.



Thanks, and regards from
David P.



PS, the plan on page 147 of Truini has various errors, so watch out if
you are going to use it. -dp

Maybe I should have said that Truini's Brilloid stuff is probably
plastic ...

Aha! I was trying to think where I had seen something similar, and
that is it.

Now if I can get a roll of this, about 8 inches wide, 2 inches thick
and 10 feet
long ....

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks Tim!

Try your local industrial cleaning supplier: they might not have a
roll of the stuff, but they
might have pads that could be laid end to end.
