Felt Shingles For Shed Roof

KK21_2

I have bought a shed, but the felt for the roof is very thin

A colleague has recommended that I just get it covered in ‘proper’ felt rather than the flimsy felt provided.

I was going to do this, but came across felt shingles on the Wickes web site which looked good

Do these do a good job ?

Are they easily fitted, by a joiner, rather than a trained roofer ?

You do not need a joiner or a roofer, just read the instructions that come with the shingles.

very easy to attach, but remember you need two rows at the bottom (got to cover the first slot so the first row is doubled up). Also overlap the edge of the shed roof with first shingles to make sure water drips free of the walls. Use galvenised clout nails for longer life and less tear.

As everyone else has said they are a doddle to fit, and they look pretty good too.
