- Step by step guide on how to apply bituminous roofing felt to your shed roof. This demonstration includes useful advice on the best materials to use, together with information on the tools you will need to complete the perfect job.
No nonsense and well explained. Thanks for taking the time to post this!
I've been watching a lot of videos trying to learn how fix my garage roof and this one and the next have been the best. The thing no one tells you is how back breaking this work is.
This is how I covered my shed 12 years ago (well except for the adhesive, I didn't use that, just nailed). Completely watertight through the UK weather until last night when the storm winds pulled off the apex strip (should have used that adhesive). Watching the video to refresh my memory and see how I should repair, which I now know, thank you for taking the time to post.
Very grateful for this video which makes me confident I can replace my shed felt. And have now ordered IKO products on Internet - it would be plain rude to use other manufacturer after you went to all that effort! Hope your products are as good as your video, I'll let you know in 15 years! Thanks.
So, I know it is not 15 years but just 5 years ago, but what do you think?
That was a fantastic video on how to put shed felt on!! It was explained brilliantly!!
Ty for the close up visuals... because figuring out all the millimeters.... Oi! Good guide!
I usually double felt my roofs and apply a waterproof to the plywood to ensure extra protection to the contents of the shed.
Thanks for the video ! Just replaced my garden shed roof following this video and it looks top notch now .
Thanks for keeping it simple. nice one!
Thank you - I knew most if it but wondered what the optimum overhang was.
When nailing, it's always better to start nailing, from the centre, and then work left and right,, stops any creasing.
Thank you for the useful advice
Decent quality felt is the key to doing a decent job
Clear, and straightforward, thank you.
I cover all the timber with the bitumen before adding the felt as it hardly costs anything and provides a waterproof layer itself.
Exactly. And will stick better.
Can i bitumen the whole plywood roof and simply stick the felt on top without nailing? I'm assuming then just nail around edges?
@@leighthomas4969 its better to nailing, because second or even third part of felt will cover previous so better. Also when you will walk on it , the felt will not slid down, all depend how big roof you will doing? Any strong wind will come? Always better to do good job. Cheers.
Very helpful and clear.
Great tutorial thanks for this - great tips
Best video for applying roll roofing that I've seen. Thank you! Answered all my questions I had :)
Some rather ugly wrinkles at the far end on your finished roof, but thanks for the video. To those below, the nails are designed with broad heads which bury themselves in the felt which seals around them, and only go in areas which are butumen painted already - so stop worrying. Good felt is worth using as it doesn't rip so easily.
Good stuff, thank you
Its better to out adhesive everwhere on the roof...just in case of strong wind.
I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering when he was gonna go grab the torch and the propane tank or at least some mastic.
Rather than cut an apex strip for the top, I would use a full width strip for a better overlap of the lower strips (Which in this video is far too small!)
Hi,I have a large garden workshop made of wood, and it leaks very bad.The roof design is a pent style, there is a slight incline and it leaks where the roof slopes down at the back.
The roof is 8x4 OSB board ,ive had 2 sets of roofing felt on it (thin) plastic sheets and a thin tarpaulin and it still leaks!!.
Originally it rained heavily before felted.
If i remove the old wood,renew&paint it with bitumen will this waterproof it? Is my leak problem cos it got wet before i had chance to felt it?
I have measured it. 3.30metre in lengh. 2.50metre in width. Now I shall buy it also purchase nails. Then I need a labour only estimate
hi ive got some roofing felt adhesive left could I use this to cover all my shed roof felt ?
what can be done to fix a felt roof that seems to have a bubble in it a few days after fitting?
Good morning Lonely Skull Kid, thank you for your question. For further information, please contact IKO directly at marketing.uk@iko.com
Ooo yeah, you give good shed.
This video doesn't state which side should face up.
Nails in an external membrane? I don't think so.
Hi. I have corrugated roof sheets on the shed. is this still a solution?
You wouldn’t apply sheet bitumen felt products onto a corrugated profile shed roof instead you would apply liquid waterproofing.

Hi!
Thanks for reply 👍
Any link suggestions for brands?
Anyhow, I am based in Ireland.
@@territmoderitmo9190 if you send an email to marketing.uk@iko.com we can put you in contact with your local IKO Liquid Waterproofing expert!
This should be useful advice for our new chicken coop - unfortunately it just arrives, and it looks like the roof is going to be less than waterproof without some extra protection....
Good morning ChcikenOfAwesome. If you still require further assistance, please contact IKO directly at marketing.uk@iko.com
I think the felt is stronger than the boards of that roof....it was bouncing up and down, and flexing like a banana when hitting those nails in!
what no glue?
Good morning Paula, thank you for your question. For further information, please contact IKO directly at marketing.uk@iko.com
It’s bumpy.....
Nails down through felt!!!!!!!, does not stop leaks.
3 minutes of fluff
I wouldn't even use this on my daughters doll house. So many things wrong with it, worst being nailing through the finish roof. Thats just asking for trouble because the nails will pop out with expansion and contraction even if you put mastic over it. I also doubt this system can stand up to a good strong wind. And don't get me started on the edges, yuck!!
using nails is normal with the bitumen gripping them and creating a weatherproof seal, Perhaps you should only comment when you within your sphere of knowledge.
leeedsonetwo Stop arguing - I hate it when people argue.
leeedsonetwo That person was 100% correct,expansion&contraction--winter,summer etc.that's if You can figure it out within Your sphere of knowledge?
EXACTLY,SAY NO MORE.
I used HT green mineral torch on ,on my shed ten years ago an is still perfect now ,Also go down with the felt not across .anyone will know this way it showed here is rubbish ;
Not a very good idea to walk on the felt on the paving slabs. @2.15 Even a small stone can poke through the felt creating a leakage point. 👎👎
