Water damage can be disastrous for your garden tools and if a leaky roof isn\u2019t repaired, it could lead to costly replacements. If you\u2019ve noticed a leak in your roofing felt, don\u2019t put it off until it\u2019s too late. Repairing your roofing felt is easier than you think, the hardest part is finding a dry afternoon to do it!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll Need<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tape measure<\/li>\n<li>Claw hammer<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edecks.co.uk\/subdept\/490\/0\/shed-felt\">Roofing felt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edecks.co.uk\/subdept\/490\/0\/shed-felt\">Felt nails<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Wood nails<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edecks.co.uk\/subdept\/490\/0\/shed-felt\">Felt adhesive<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Step ladder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1: Remove the Damaged Shed Felt<\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to get rid of your old or worn felt. To do this, use your claw hammer to remove the existing nails that are fixing the shed felt in place. Then simply lift the felt off and remove any remaining nails or debris that\u2019s lingering on the shed roofing so you have a clean canvas to work with.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Cut the Replacement Shed Roofing Felt to Size<\/h2>\n<p>For a shed roof that\u2019ll go the distance, the trick is to cut three pieces of felt: one for each side of your shed roof and one to run over the top of the shed and overlap the side panels.<\/p>\n<p>Dig out your measuring tape and measure each side of your shed roof. You can use these dimensions for the top section of felt too. Add approximately 5cm onto your measurements for leeway in case there are any overlapping sections at the eaves, you can trim this off later using a craft knife if it isn\u2019t needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Add the Replacement Felt<\/h2>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to add the replacement shed felt. Apply it to the roof, making sure you pull it tight before you nail it in place so it lies flat. Hammer in the felt nails 15cm apart along the length of the roof, placing the nails just below the apex. The bottom edge of the felt can be nailed down at wider intervals; spacing you nails approximately 30cm apart will make sure your felt is secure.<\/p>\n<p>When the side panels are secure, add the top section of roofing felt and fix it in place by nailing the side edges 5cm apart to the shed and using a felt adhesive to secure the bottom edge to the side panels.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it, a replacement felt shed roof in just 3 easy steps.
