    Hi All

    During a recent storm on of the strips of felt came away from the roof of my garden shed.

    Of course I didn't fix it on time and now the roof boards are wet on the inside from rain coming in.

    Is there anyway of fixing this or is it too late? I've had the shed 15+ years and its been great at keeping dry. Really p*ssed with myself for not getting up and fixing the rood sooner.

    Thanks

    No it's probably not too late if the timbers are not rotten.
    A couple of good drying days and you should be ok.
    You might consider re-roofing with steel sheeting if the timbers are ok on inspection.

    When we moved into our house the shed was missing one side if the roof for a number of years. I got two sheets of OSB and a rool if felt. Literally just screwed the OSB on top of the what was left of the old roof and felted over. Cost 80 Euro in total. The shed dried out and lasted the past5 years. withour any problems
