In this video ( how to felt a shed part 2 ) we will be looking at how to fit felt to a shed roof, and just like clothes maketh the man, felt maketh the shed. Here we will be installing a high performance roofing felt to the freshly stripped shed roof from Part 1, and this sort of roof should give you a comfortable 20 Years of life, it could be a lot more.

The roofing materials used in this project are exactly like the ones I use and can be found in detail on the website or purchased through an affiliate link for those who want to.
You can also use this with a log cabin – summer house or gazebo
I hope this proves useful.

I just did a large shed – roof area over 2m x 3.8m each side. It was also a steep angle on a ply base. I found it extremely difficult working on my own. I've since found your instruction to fit vertical pieces but while fearing for my own demise I decided this was a case for corrugated roofing. Have you had experience with stuff like Onduline or Coroline and can you give any advice?
Great video – thanks. It would be good if you did something similar for a much bigger workshop type shed.
superb! thank you
Excellent – straightforward, easy to follow many thanks
How can this be 300-400% cheaper than a fiberglass alternative?
If the fiberglass option is £100 and this cost £75 it’s 25% cheaper.
If this cost £20 it would be 80% cheaper
If it was FREE it would be 100% cheaper.
The only way for it to be 300% cheaper is if the shop gives you £200 for buying this free product.
Please tell me where this shop is as I’ve got lots of stuff to buy 😉
hi @fixmyroof,
i couldn't find this cap sheet so bought some iko super shed felt that apparently lasts 15 years. 2 rolls for £50. i tried to source the ones in the video but can't find any. do you think the super shed felt is good enough ? its green mineral and doesn't have the black overlapping, covered fully in mineral.
thanks
Why bother with fibreglass if this stuff lasts 20 years?
Thanks, really helpful, professionally explained, the voice, tone, explanations, demonstration just right. I am off to my son's to felt a shed roof and with your guidance I will do a better job than last time. I have subscribed. thanks,
Where can you find the felt used in this video? Your website links to Amazon, but that felt is not listed and I can't seem to find it even after a google search.
Hi , Are you using torch on roofing felt ( cap sheet ) . How much is a roll and where do you buy it from . What do you recommend Thank You .
What is this felt called and where do you buy it ? Thanks
Where do you buy this felt ? cheers
Your link to roofing felt on Amazon is a bit ambiguous, could you clarify please?
This is old school, like when I was a kid. Don't see it much anymore. A nice simple roof. Really nice! Thank you.
Good clear precise instructions,covering every detail. Its more videos of this quality that I want to see on Youtube, as some videos can be a real turn off.. Thanks for showing me how to do it right, and the tip for the using top grade felt, I can't wait to get out there and start the job!!
I don't normally comment on these videos but I have to say I think your instructions are excellent. Many thanks.
Fantastic vid. Thank you. My shed roof is a pent roof. How should I do the highest edge of the felt? Just leave 50mm, like at the back and sides?
Many thanks for a great tutorial. I now know what grade of felt to buy, and how to strip off the old felt etc. Luckily I'm not hung like a Stallion so no worries when cutting the felt.
Nice and simple roof! I'm not sure they sell felt that good in the U.S. I've only seen poor quality felt like that. If you go over that with an elastomeric coating, it'll last that much longer…
Love it, trailing limbs and reproductive organs! lol!! Seriously, a great help, thank you.
