During the winter storms the wind got underneath the felt on the shed and ripped it off. I happened to mention to a friend that this was a job that had been sitting on my To Do list for several months and out of embarrassment I committed to doing it this week. I started by cleaning off the old felt and measuring the new material. I didn't have any felt to hand but I have a massive roll of the breather membrane the house was wrapped in so I turned it silver side down and measured it up. Hopefully it is waterproof.<a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/shed-roof-afterMay20.jpg">

Part of the reason the felt ripped was because the batten on the left hand side hadn't been put in place when the shed was erected 6 years ago.

If I totally honest I didn't ever finish the shed properly after I had a team of people help me to erect it in the first place. My only excuse was it was poorly manufactured and none of the pieces fitted properly. Over time the whole frame has shifted and warped and there are gaps in most of the joints. I intend to use mastic to fill the gaps and to make sure it is properly sealed before giving it a coat of preservative,
