Shed Roof Felt

[Guvernator]

The felt roof on the wooden garden shed is looking a bit worse for wear so I thought I might try to replace it myself. I'm not brilliant at DIY but I think I'm competent enough to handle this. Can someone please post an idiots guide. It's a slopiing gable\saddle roof if that makes a difference.

What's the best felt to use for this and where can I get it from? I'm assuming I need to use bitumen of some sort of seal for the gaps? Do I need adhesive? Do I need an extra layer underneath the felt or can it go straight on top of the wood roof?

Any advice gratefully received.

OK thanks for that, it sort of tallies with what I was thinking. It looks like the wood is OK underneath although there may be a few small holes so the plan is.

1) Take old felt off.

2) Repair any wood holes with wood filler.

3) Paint with a layer of weatherproof wood stain. Wait to dry.

4) Apply the 3 bands of felt, I'm guessing the two bottom bands go on first and then the one that goes over the top of the V goes over the other two with a slight overlap at the edges?

New felt nails and felt to be purchased. I think I'll go with a thicker material, reviews I've read say the cheaper\thinner stuff can tear easily while installing. Probably won't bother with adhesive\bitumen as I hate that stuff.

Having looked at EPDM mentioned above I just found this option for sheds.

Not that expensive and the install looks just as easy as felt.

Hmmm...
