- 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.
Haddington
The Royal Burgh of Haddington is a town in East Lothian, Scotland. It is the major administrative, social as well as geographical centre for East Lothian, which as a result of late-nineteenth century Scottish city government reforms took the kind of the county of Haddingtonshire for the period from 1889-1921. It exists about 17 miles (27 kilometres) east of Edinburgh. The name Haddington is Anglo-Saxon, dating from the 6th or seventh century AD when the area was incorporated into the kingdom of Bernicia. The town, like the remainder of the Lothian area, was ceded by King Edgar of England as well as became part of Scotland in the tenth century. Haddington obtained burghal condition, among the earliest to do so, during the regime of David I (1124-- 1153), giving it trading legal rights which urged its development into a market town. Today Haddington is a village with a population of fewer than 10,000 individuals; although during the High Middle Ages, it was the fourth-biggest city in Scotland after Aberdeen, Roxburgh and Edinburgh. In the middle of the town is the Town House, constructed in 1748 according to a plan by William Adam. When initially built, it inheld a council chamber, jail as well as constable court, to which assembly rooms were included 1788, as well as a new clock in 1835. Neighboring is the Corn Exchange (1854) and also the County Courthouse (1833 ). Various other close-by remarkable websites consist of the Jane Welsh Carlyle House, Mitchell's Close and also the native home of writer and government reformer Samuel Smiles on the High Street, noted by a commemorative plaque.
