I'm replacing the knackered felt on my shed roof - sloped roof with an apex, and the felt will go on as four strips, lengthwise.
So I fit the 'lower' lengths first, ie above the eaves, and these will be nailed down obviously. Then the 'upper' lengths go on, overlapping the lower lengths by 2-3 inches and covering the nail heads. Question - should this overlap be fixed using just felt adhesive, or with nails (or with both?) Have googled a bit about this and all three permutations crop up and am not sure what;s for the best. I'm concerned that adhesive alone won't hold the felt down and it will eventually succumb to wind; however if I nail it then isn't that introducing a water track into the roof timbers?
Thanks for any thoughts David
