As a homeowner in Windsor and Maidenhead, maintaining your shed's roof is essential to ensure its longevity and prevent water damage. One crucial aspect of felt roofing is folding the corners correctly. In this article, we will guide you through the process of folding felt roof corners, a skill that will save you time and effort in the long run.

Felt roofing is a popular choice for sheds and outbuildings due to its durability, affordability, and ease of installation. However, it requires proper technique to ensure a watertight seal, especially around the corners.

• Felt roofing material
• Roofing adhesive
• Utility knife
• Measuring tape
• Pencil or marker

Before folding the corners, ensure the surface of the roof is clean, dry, and free of debris. Apply a thin layer of roofing adhesive to the area where the felt will be applied.

Measure the corner of the shed and mark the point where the felt will be folded. Use a pencil or marker to draw a line along the edge of the roof, indicating where the fold will be made.

Cut the felt roofing material to the required size, leaving a 2-3 inch overhang around the edges. This will provide enough material to fold the corners securely.

Apply a small amount of roofing adhesive to the marked corner and fold the felt over the edge of the roof. Use a utility knife to trim any excess material, ensuring a tight seal.

Use additional adhesive to secure the fold in place, applying gentle pressure to ensure a tight seal. Repeat the process for the remaining corners.
