How to felt a lean to shed roof.

I m about to build large lean to shed against the garage wall which is brick built. Align the edges flush and insert 6 8d nails. Cut the panels for the lean to roof ends and then attach them into place tightly. If you are building a shed that isn t the size of a house which most of us are then a single roll of 30 felt may be enough.

One roll of 15 felt is more than enough for most sheds unless it is unusually large. Pull out nails that are holding felt to the roof using the sharp end of a claw hammer. Insert 6d nails to secure the panels to the framing of the shed. Grab loose pieces of felt and pull them off the roof with your hands.

For pieces that aren t coming loose press a putty knife underneath it. Attach the panels to the exterior of the shed and align the edges flush. Hope that makes sense. Or you can purchase one roll of 15 felt and add two layers.

You can t have too many nails holding your felt down a loose edge will eventually rip if it s caught by a strong wind. Use a saw to make the cuts around the opening. Remove old felt from the roof with your hands and a putty knife. Install asphalt roofing on storage shed.

In order to get a water tight seal where the shed roof leans against the garage wall are there any new products i can use without having to cement the felt between the rows of brick. Apply pressure and chisel away at it until it comes loose. As before tack it in place then add more clouts between the tacking.
