How to Attach Roof Felt on a Shed

Attaching roof felt on a shed is an important step to protect your shed from weather damage. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Measure the roof: Measure the area of the roof where you will be installing the felt to determine how much felt you will need. Make sure to purchase enough felt to cover the entire roof.

2. Gather materials: In addition to the felt, you will need roofing nails, a hammer, a utility knife, and a ladder.

3. Prepare the roof: Before you begin installing the felt, make sure the roof is clean and dry. Remove any debris or dirt from the roof surface.

4. Start at the bottom: Begin by placing the first layer of felt along the bottom edge of the roof, allowing it to overhang the edge by a few inches. Secure the felt by nailing it to the roof with roofing nails.

5. Install subsequent layers: Overlap the first layer of felt with the second layer by at least 3 inches. Continue installing subsequent layers, overlapping each layer by 3-6 inches, until you reach the top of the roof.

6. Trim excess felt: Use a utility knife to trim any excess felt along the edges of the roof.

7. Finish with ridge caps: Once you have covered the entire roof with felt, install ridge caps along the top of the roof to provide additional protection against weather damage.

8. Inspect the installation: After the installation is complete, inspect the felt to make sure it is properly secured and there are no gaps or tears in the material.

By following these steps, you should be able to attach roof felt on your shed effectively and ensure it is protected from weather damage.
