Not sure about the last row of nails going through the waterproofing you've just fitted. Surely the adhesive alone would hold the capping felt in place?
Is it poss to use evostik or adhesive for EDPM roofing or just the high performance (bitumen) felt adhesive (to prevent wind uplift & general creep movement) instead of clout nails to avoid puncturing holes thru the felt?
Make sure the part you nail is the part where the bitumen has been painted onto the roof. The bitumen will seal the hole you punch through the wood and felt if you laid down a thick enough bead. It will also resist weathering better in the future. Before you applying bitumen however, give it a coat of cuprinol so that if the felt fails, the wood has a backup line of defense. When the felt fails you may not notice and that cuprinol will give you time before the wood is compromised.
THe video is specifc to a shed with that size of roof. What if the roof is larger? How much should the felt overlap?

Thanks good job

I would give it a try.Do a tasty patch on the materials to test its adhesive properties 👍🇬🇧
No

What is the ratio of Dr Fixit in cement?
Excellent video!
What I wanted to see is how he did the corners, and that is exactly what they cut out.
Excellent advice. Thanks.
Isn’t it better to use adhesive and battons rather than clout nails?
Many thanks for the tips :)

Cut on your patio slabs.

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.
Good video; terrible felt.
