- Remove any existing fascia boards Remove the fascia boards and the old felt if you’re re-felting.
- Measure the shed roof Measure the roof, taking into account that you should leave around 50mm for overlaps at the eaves and 75mm at the gable ends. You’ll probably need 3 pieces of felt, but some smaller sheds only need 2.
- Apply felt to the roof Once you’ve cut the felt to size, apply the each piece to the roof, pulling it tight. Then nail along the length of the roof at 100mm intervals. For nails at the bottom edge, they can be wider – around 300mm. If you’re adding a piece of felt in the middle of the shed along the apex, fix it using adhesive, then nail it at the lower edge at 50mm intervals.
- Tidy up the overhangs Fold down the felt at each overhang and nail it securely. Cut a slit in the overhang at the apex using a pen knife, then fold that down and nail at 100mm intervals along the gable. If you like, you can add fascia boards to keep the shed looking neat. Use wood nails to secure them and then trim away any excess felt.
Isle Of Coll
Coll is an island located west of the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Coll is understood for its sandy coastlines, which rise to develop huge sand dunes, for its corncrakes, as well as for Breacachadh Castle. It remains in the council area of Argyll and Bute. Coll is about 13 miles (20 km) long by 3 miles (5 kilometres) vast and has a population of around 150. Coll's sandy coastlines rise to create big sand dunes. The acme on Coll is Ben Hogh in the mid west of the island, a ridge with two tops running NW/SE, which climbs initially to a height of 104 metres (341 feet) with a triangulation column, as well as to 106 metres (348 feet) 450 metres (492 yd) to the southeast. In the 2011 census, the island's population was recorded as 195, standing for a boost over the previous decade of virtually 19%.
