- 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 Iona
Iona is a tiny island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western shore of Scotland. It is primarily understood for Iona Abbey, though there are other structures on the island. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for three centuries as well as is today understood for its family member tranquility and natural surroundings. It is a tourist destination and also a place for spiritual hideaways. Its contemporary Scottish Gaelic name suggests "Iona of (Saint) Columba" (formerly anglicised "Icolmkill"). The island, other than the land had by the Iona Cathedral Trust, was bought from the Duke of Argyll by Hugh Fraser in 1979 and also donated to the National Trust for Scotland. In 2001 Iona's population was 125 as well as by the time of the 2011 census this had grown to 177 common citizens.
