It’ll give lads somewhere to dispose of the stuff they “acquire” on site.

Sounds like the start of a GCSE maths question.

Show your workings please.
If he buys another roll he'll have 8m left for the next time he needs 6m

10m roll, needs 2 (actually 6 but has 4 from beforehand) 8 left.
From memory its cheap enough and it will always come in somewhere

It’s not the money it’s the principle marra.

Just keep a hold for the next time you need to change it. You might be dead before that mind.

It £26 for 10m. Just seems a waste having to buy 5 times the amount I need.

Forget the felt. Buy a 2.5lt tin of Thompson's 10 year roofseal, and just coat the bare timber roof with it ( as many times as you want) and it will perform better than shitty shed felt. £25 from Screwfix. Thank me later.
i've got a couple of metres of carpet the op can have if it's any good. it's next to the half tin of paint and the wood offcuts in my garage that might come in handy one day

Gotta open the guts with a big ass knife, stops any air being trapped and used for bouyancy

Yeah i was the same doing the grandbairns garden play house . Ending up splitting the roll with next door for his shed .
You can bet if they were charging you for 2m it would be twice the price per mtr . I'd rather have the spare yds cheap on principal

If it’s of any comfort. I wouldn’t join it if i didn’t have to. So buy a new roll and replace the whole length.

Felts had its day now .
Strip the felt off put rubber down and forget for 25yrs...or patch up and as the felt expands and contracts over the year with weather changes cracks splits appear so refelt every 5 yrs , more work for you and more ££££s.
When i done my shed rubber was 50% more than felt but its down for 25yrs no cracking blebbing etc and it looks much neater.Next door neighbour done his shed in felt the same time about a year ago its got blebs allover and looks ready to do again.
Ordered my stuff off e- bay , looked for a good seller with 1000s of positive feed back and just went ahead and ordered.

Doesn't help. It's a peaked roof shed which is 1.8m x 1.8m.
The roof is done with a 1m x2m length on each side of the peak and a third 2m length which goes down the middle over the peak and overlaps the other two pieces. That's why it takes 3 x 2m lengths.

Although this is sound advice. If he’s got blebs then he’s just done a shite job of laying it. If felt only last 5 years then again, it’s being done wrong.
I’m no professional but it always lasts a lot longer than that and should probably outlast a wooden shed.
Understood. As you were.
