How to Use Adhesive with Shed Felt

When felting your shed in an area prone to strong winds, it’s crucial to ensure that your shed felt stays securely in place. While clout nails often suffice, severe wind uplift—especially on taller sheds—may necessitate additional reinforcement. This is where shed felt adhesive proves invaluable.

Shed felt adhesive, such as Cromar’s Roofing Felt Adhesive, is particularly effective for use with felt shingles, which are typically layered. It’s also beneficial for adhering overlaps on standard shed felt. The adhesive’s bituminous properties make it water-resistant, ensuring no weak spots are left exposed. 

For shed roofs with an apex design, meaning double-sided, applying adhesive at the ridge where the third piece of felt covers the join between two others can be especially advantageous.

Installation Steps:

Begin by nailing down the first layer of shed felt, providing a secure foundation for the adhesive. Once nailed, apply the roofing felt adhesive on top using a disposable brush. Allow the adhesive to set for about 30 minutes before applying the subsequent piece of felt. 

After applying the next felt layer, ensure it lies completely flat to avoid air pockets or blistering. You might use a dry paint roller to smooth it out. If using shingles, nail down the felt after adhesion and reapply adhesive on the base sections that will be covered by the next layer's tiles.  

For standard shed felt, aim for an overlap of at least 150mm, extending 75mm down the shed’s side. One day after completing the roof, recheck to ensure the adhesive has properly settled.

One frequently asked question is whether it’s possible to apply shed felt adhesive in cold weather. While it can be done, the adhesive may become less pliable and harder to work with. Therefore, it’s recommended to store the adhesive in a warm location before application and work on milder days.

Another common concern is the lifespan of the adhesive bond. When applied correctly, the adhesive bond can last as long as the shed felt itself, often extending the life of your shed’s roofing material by several years.

It’s also important to note that while roofing felt adhesive is water-resistant, proper shed maintenance is essential. Regularly inspect your shed roof for any signs of wear or damage and address issues promptly to maintain the efficacy of the adhesive and the integrity of the shed.

For sheds located in exceptionally windy regions, consider additional mechanical fasteners along with adhesive for extra security. Combining both methods will provide the best protection against extreme weather conditions.
