Put roof on shed.

An affordable option and easier to lay than shingles tin is the most commonly used type of metal roofing. Adjust the felt as you roll it making sure that it s straight with no bubbling. While a metal roof can be a noisy addition to a home it can be the perfect solution for a shed in need of repair. Skillion roofs are one of the simplest roof styles used in shed building.

This involves covering the roof in epdm and then adding a frame that can be filled with soil and planted with a mix of grass and flower seeds. Whether you are looking to install a metal roof on a shed or a house it s important to know the difference in the various types of metal roofs available. I do this on my shed but these basic principals can be applied to your house as well. Allow about 1 foot 0 30 m of the felt to hang over the hip.

For hip type shed roofs which include slopes on all 4 sides begin at the square hip at the top of the roof. If your shed roof is flat or has a pitch of 18 degrees or less consider building a green roof on it. Saltbox roofs look like skillion roofs but with an extra short slope opposite the long angled plane like an upside down check mark. Also the maximum height of a shed measured from ground level to the highest peak of the roof is set at 14 and must never exceed the height of the house.

Never install the felt vertically across your roof. A skillion roof is made up of a single flat plane which slopes gradually from top to bottom. It s quick easy low cost and you can do it yourself. Either way a metal roof can add years to a shed because it is impervious to bugs and animals and it weathers well in every climate.
