Shed roof

[Tuono]

Good job I've read to the end of the thread, I can just agree with you

Same here.
MDF
Too many DIY programmes on the telly now. Every Tom, Dick and Harry's an expert these days. I once had a bloke who worked in an office telling me how easy it was to fit a kitchen while I was fitting a kitchen for him.

It’s a pretty straight forward job, felt is an arse to cut neatly tho.

Eh stanley cuts it no probs!
If you want any felt i have about 6m x 1m spare, let me know

If you're re-felting it, go to a roof supplier or decent builders merchants and get proper thick felt for flat roofs.
Not that thin shìt from Wickes, b and q etc. it just rips in wind.

It doesn't cost that much more either.

Seems the OP has gone into hiding, due to the stress of this monumental task.

Aye, everyone an expert, when I was a young'un I drove for a very good joiner who fitted kitchens (think Hygena type), looks easy to the average Joe, the ammount of running around for daft things that were missing.
You always get a clever shite now and again though.

MDF and moisture
Only use MDF internally, shelving etc.

This is what I did earlier in the year. Cost me £7 more and the difference is massive.

That's okay, it's the ones who try to tell someone how to do a job when they've been doing that job for years are the ones that get me.

Blockboard for shelving but nee body seems to stock it now.

Wish I could do more DIY it'd save a few quid. My Dad and FiL are the last hopes for our family on that front as they can do a bit. When they die I might have to leave the missus for a fella.

Clad with OSB
Cover with EPDM rubber

Forget about it for 20 yrs.

Probably doesn't even need that. Just strip the fault and cover with EPDM.

Fault? Felt.

I'm tired.

Depends what the felt comes off like and the condition of the roof ply ..needs to be bone dry and smooth for the contact adhesive , for the sake of 2 sheets of ply and a extra hr i would renew the roof.

 

[freckletooth]

Is it bigger than mine?

 

[Stormo]

Cheers for the advice everyone. Sounds like runner is the way forward these days rather than felt. Will attempt to fix it after me holiday.

 

[humbug]

Wrap your shed in clingfilm, aesthetically pleasing and will keep your lawn mower fresh.

could also use tin foil, would double up as a shelter for the forthcoming nuclear armageddon.

Is runner fast to fit?

Hopefully you get a couple of days dry weather. I used ply rather than MDF. Just checked.

Good luck.

It is isn't it ? You can tear the cheap stuff like paper. Geoff capes probably couldn't tear this
I did mine and me dads at the start of COVID, in fact I was still recovering from COVID and "felt" like shìt still
So about 4 year ago ??? .
The only problems I had was it was a red hot day and it was burning me hands leaning on the roof to tack it And trying to lay it down straight on my own without it sliding.

12'x6 and 10'x6' sheds. Both original felt torn to bits same time.
Me dad passed away a year later so I took the shed down and rebuilt it at mine.
Both sheds and roofs look like new still. I paint the shed walls with a mix of creosote (creocote now) and old engine oil
Same as fence panels. None of that water based crap.
