- 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.
Corsham
Corsham is a historic market community and also civil parish in west Wiltshire, England. It is at the south-western edge of the Cotswolds, just off the A4 nationwide route, 28 miles (45 kilometres) southwest of Swindon, 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Bristol, 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Bath and 4 miles (6 kilometres) southwest of Chippenham. Corsham was historically a centre for farming and also later, the wool sector, and also continues to be an emphasis for quarrying Bath Stone. It has several significant historical structures, among them the manor house of Corsham Court. During the Second World War and the Cold War, it ended up being a major administrative and manufacturing centre for the Ministry of Defence, with numerous facilities both over ground as well as in obsolete quarry tunnels. The church consists of the villages of Gastard and also Neston, which is at evictions of the Neston Park estate. Corsham appears to obtain its name from Cosa's ham, "ham" being Old English for homestead, or village. The town is referred in the Domesday book as Cosseham; the letter 'R' appears to have gone into the name later under Norman impact (possibly caused by the recording of regional pronunciation), when the town is reported to have actually remained in the ownership of the Earl of Cornwall. Corsham is recorded as Coseham in 1001, as Cosseha in 1086, and as Cosham as late as 1611 (on John Speed's map of Wiltshire). The Corsham location came from the King in Saxon times, the location at the time additionally had a large forest which was removed to give way for additional growth. There is evidence that the community had been referred to as "Corsham Regis" as a result of its reputed organization with Anglo-Saxon Ethelred of Wessex, as well as this name continues to be as that of a primary school. Among the towns that flourished considerably from Wiltshire's wool trade in medieval times, it preserved its prosperity after the decrease of that trade via the quarrying of Bathroom rock, with below ground mining functions encompassing the south as well as west of Corsham. The primary turnpike road (now the A4) from London to Bristol passed through the town. Numbers 94 to 112 of the High Street are Grade II * listed buildings called the "Flemish Weavers Houses", however there is little cogent evidence to sustain this name and it shows up most likely to stem from a handful of Dutch workers who arrived in the 17th century. The Grove, opposite the High Street, is a typical example of classic Georgian design.
