Everyone needs a Jen when they are working on a roof 😀

So nice to see someone take such pride in their work.

What an amazing job. If you're going to do it, do it like that......with precision and pride. Quality!!!

Excellent job and very meticulous.

Nice tip with bit of wood with markings

Good stuff, thanks for this, excellent example of care where it's needed and good enough where it's not ! That is a compliment BTW ! 😉

What a nice video 👍

good work !

Pretty much all the bathing boxes over here on the Mornington peninsula use metal roofs. Never noticed one with felt. Need to be very well healed , sure it's the same in England.

nice job! wow 8-10 years thats some going down by the coast

Thank you for this I have just got a new shed and will make sure I use some of these techniques when it goes up

Never been sure what to do with the nails on the overlap before, just stuck tar over them but I guess if there's seal in the gap I shouldn't worry so much.

Nice. I recognise that beach, its my home town. Must run past that most days. I’m doing a hip dryridge conversion soon if you’re interested in showing my how an expert would do it.

The fascia line up the slope is called the Verge, the fascia line along the gutter line (or where the water runs to) is called the Eaves.

How about a video on how to fit a new ‘big six’ corrugated shed roof replace or overlay……for the handy men…..cheers.👍🚀

Renovating a £25,000 luxury beach dwelling 👍 !!

Ever thought about using EPDM single ply rubber, much better job, much more longevity. No joints or cap sheets and comparable cost wise, guaranteed you wouldn't felt again, we've done thousands of metres and wouldn't go back. Love the location though

I do like using rubber but have found it cost more than cap over felt and most beach hut owners like their money in their wallets!!

@SJWardBuilders probably agree, especially in todays financial situation. Although as a DIY project that's only gonna cost around £400-£500 in rubber. Bit of a no brainer really

@@104rubberducklanigan9 I only paid £150 for my skyguard rubber membrane for my shed and it’s turned out perfectly.

Last summer I had to replace my shed roof felt. The only place I could roll out the felt was on the grass...it was a boiling hot summer day and that felt got so hot it killed the grass underneath!

Looks simple but a lot more involved than you think . Nice attention to detail as always 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

It was very tricky but persevered with my hammer and slowly but surely made my way along that side!

Sam Self Singles Sheds by the Sea Shore.... Say it three times fast... Very sorry, but I could not resist... 😀

Shed felt is perfectly adequate and lasts well, i use boards rather than tacks around the edges too, however I NEVER nail lateral straps onto the felt, 9not referring to the strap protectors but those added at either end) it is always the nails that go through lateral strips that fail first, really bad practice, however the joint felt nails,, (not clouts, they are too long look for 13mm) as they go through 2 layers, work as self amalgamating and create a seal. to do close edges use something like a flooring tool or a chisel laid across the head then hit the chisel, side boards also make this easier and far quicker.

What your not applying a waterproof membrane on before the next part applying ne2 felf fept

I used EPDM rubber on my summerhouse roof and it still looks like new 4 years on. Bought off ebay as a kit and it seemed more cost effective when you consider you often dont find out felt is leaking until the wood starts rotting so its not just the felt that you need to replace regularly. Would this be better at the seaside?

There is a company near me that does loads of offcuts. Works out cheaper than polyester felt.

@depniff

Жыл бұрын

Mine cost just over £100 with adhesive for about 3m square and the offcuts have been really useful in other diy and gardening applications.

Those sheds sell for upwards of £300k in the right places.

How did you do the run of tacks which were up against the shed next to it? There was so little room to get in there.

Felt who uses felt anymore. EPDM glued down lasts yearssssss. It doesn't work out that much more expensive. When I built my man cave I put EPDM on the roof that was 12 years ago still like new. Do it do it do it do it😂😂

I prefer to glue the overlaps. Putting a clout through seems wrong to me.

EPDM for me. No seams to leak, just glue it on and it should last longer than the shed.

We are not suppose to use torch on. Have you ever seen a gas torch in the dark? The flame goes a long way, every thing is dry wood. When one goes up about five others burn. Not to mention the families and young children, generally they don't like being torched!😀
