- 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.

Garden Sheds in Bushmills
Garden sheds are a vital factor of any useful garden space. They provide storage for cumbersome garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A larger sized garden shed could offer enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a sizeable shed could be used as an inside sitting area. Garden sheds are available in a large range of sizes and can be specified to your precise needs, providing you full control over the amount and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds usually are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the traditional design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, particularly if the wood used for the shed is matched to adjacent fences. Wooden sheds remain very popular, although they will require maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to protect the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also constructed from metal, which is very strong and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require minimal maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is much more durable than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's important to ensure that you choose one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be located on a level area, and will need a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.

FAQs
- The shed doesn’t cover more than 50% of the garden
- It’s not in front of your house
- The shed is single-storey with eaves no higher than 2.5m and the overall height is no taller than 4m for a dual-pitched roof, or 3m for any other type. If it’s located within 2 metres of your property’s boundary, it mustn't be more than 2.5m high
- There’s no veranda or balcony
- The floor area is no bigger than 15m2 - up to 30m2 may be covered under Permitted Development if other conditions are met
- The shed is for domestic use only by those who live in the property and there’s no sleeping accommodation – that means you can’t run a business from the shed unless you apply for planning permission
- If you live in a listed building, you’ll need Listed Building Consent before you can build a shed in your garden
- If you live in a conservation area or similar, the maximum area of ground covered by outbuildings, pools and enclosures situated more than 20m from any wall of the house mustn’t exceed 10m2 if they’re to be considered as a permitted development
- If you own a piece of woodland, you must seek planning permission for any permanent structure
- In Scotland, you’ll need planning permission if any part of the shed comes within 1m of a neighbouring property or is more than 2.5m high
- In Northern Ireland, there are rules about how close your shed can be from a road that passes by the back of your house. It’s best to check for clarification
- What you need the shed for
- How much space you have
- How big you need the shed to be
- Which style of roof you want
- What material you would like
- How big your budget is
- Hand-crafted from Nordic White Spruce
- Felt roof reinforced with high-grade polyester
- Tongue and groove cladding makes it more weatherproof so ideal for items that must be kept dry
- High eaves for more head height and to store taller items
- Pent roof and fixed windows allow lots of light
- Ideal for putting up against a wall or fence
- Door can be hinged either side
- Ideal for small gardens or those with fewer tools to store
- Apex roof for water runoff
- Tongue and groove walls
- Tall floor-to-gable door
- Remove fascias and trims Unscrew or prise off the screws and nails fixing the trims and fascias to your shed.
- Take off doors and remove windows Unscrew hinges from doors and take them off. Remove all metalwork once the door is off. If you’ve got frames on your windows, unscrew these, and remove the panes. Be extra careful if your windows are made of glass.
- Take off the roof Prise off the tacks from the roofing felt and take the felt off – you can’t reuse it, so you’ll need to throw it away. Unscrew the screws on the roof boards and slide them off the shed’s frame – you might need a friend to help you do this.
- Take out the roof brace (optional) If your roof has a brace, unscrew the brackets that hold it to the side of the shed. Remember not to lean on anything once you’ve taken the brace off as the walls might be wobbly.
- Unscrew the frame from the floor Remove all the screws that are holding the shed to the base, remembering not to lean on the walls.
- Unscrew the frame corners Starting at the corner of the front gable, remove the screws where the panels meet. Once a panel is free, lift it carefully out of the way so you can carry on with the others.
