Default Flat Felted Roof

Fwom:Strike3 )

Any tips for repair/renwal of my garage roof, which is flat felted
type.



Use top quality, cheap ****e is a senseless economy.
Use 2 layers
Ensure the surface is totally flat before laying: a sticking up nail
head is enough to puncture the felt.

Better though would be to go for fibreglass or even soldered zinc.

If youve got no money, roofs can be simply tar coated and sprinkled
with sand, as used to be standard - thats where the idea of tar felt
came from. But if doing that I would not use chipboard
