4:15 Excellent video, which I have just followed without problem! THANK YOU! I would just add that for the overhang on the four corners, I followed the presenter’s instruction for the centre overhang, i.e. cutting at the join, folding under and nailing down. That bit seems to have been missed from the guide.

[@bandq]

Glad you found it helpful 😊

[@tanglefoot3974]

I always recommend sticking the roof felt down with bitumen under the whole sheet to stop any wind getting underneath. Loads of sheds get damaged every winter where I live in the North East, by wind ripping the felt off the nails.

[@TheGreyGardener1990]

Would you just paint the bitumen over the wooden sheets then place the felt over the top, then nail?

[@simoncloake8051]

Use bitumen everytime personally

[@stevenm8970]

This has just happened to me

[@Amy_The_Problem_Child]

@@simoncloake8051 spot on mate , proper experienced advise, you know exactly what your talking about! Whoever needs advise or unsure how to go about things needs to take note ! I've always worked with bitumen ( roll and pour) only used torch on for repairs! Take care pal! 👌👍

[@marklittler784]

I always take advantage of reading the comments as well as watching the video so there's less chance of missing a trick 👍 😁

[@SubIntension]

I find it easier to just put the roll out on top of the shed, give a little overhang, roll it out to desired length add another bit of overhang then cut it,

[@bandq]

That's another great way to do it! 😊

[@sandraclarke6528]

Very well done, simply shown.

[@bandq]

Thank you, Sandra! 😊

[@pillarsofserpents]

I like this guy. Can't put my finger on it, but I enjoy watching him. He seems like a good dude.

[@jspry100]

Know what you mean. He makes it look so easy in a very friendly and helpful way. A good beer buddy!

Never judge a book by its cover.

[@user-oh2xs5lt7c]

He was on Blue Peter with John Noakes@@wesleypresley1000

[@lfcbpro]

How do you stop it leaking with the nails???

[@bandq]

Hi, if you ensure you use the correct tools and materials and follow the video step by step, you shouldn't have this issue 😊

[@bartomiejbrasse6973]

@B&Q really helpful video. If you could please add shopping list with links to B&Q under the videos.

[@bandq]

Hi there, there is a list of items used at the end of the video. However, thank you for your comment, we'll have this reviewed internally 😊

[@petersilvester6215]

Good constructive video.

[@karl3630]

Nice one!!

[@manbahadurthapa2833]

it's very helpful

[@Nick-cy2tn]

I always attach a piece of rope to the roof felt so that I can reel it in later when it blows off in winter

[@ShedsdirectCoUk]

Very clear instruction thanks

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

What type of wood is best for the fascia boards on the overhangs?

[@bandq]

Hi, you can choose from a range of woods. The type of wood you choose is important, you'll need to understand how to care and maintain its quality and durability. Hope this helps 😊

[@umpus]

@@bandq That literally does not help at all. They asked what wood and you failed to provide even one option.

[@Cave_Monster]

@@bandq Yeah but what actual WOOD do you recommend? Name a type of wood we can buy in your store!

[@euan6471]

do a part 2!

[@karencaravan3570]

I agree wholeheartedly!

[@Bootsystem66]

This tutorial is excellent but those new to this and doing their bigger garden sheds will struggle to get the right measurment and the right tools. Many thanks

[@ethelcervales6085]

[@jameswburke]

How do you calculate the vertical fascia board angle where the 2 boards meet in the middle?

[@lildeanc]

jameswburke use a protractor mate

[@jameswburke]

and divide by 2 ?

[@robshaw3655]

Lightly nail one fascia inplace and mark the vertical cut at the apex.take fascia off and cut.use that as your guide for the other side

[@jamiethompson6825]

To put it really simple, offer up into place the fascia get a boat level, hold onto fascia when the little bubble is between the lines.... Mark it with your pencil ✏️👍

[@themoodyteam]

Shit looking shed, like something off the set of Hollyoaks. Brave man to get up a ladder with that thing wobbling about!

[@robthesamplist]

lol I bet you weigh about 100 stone

[@petercostello3196]

Length of nails please. Great video thanks.

[@bandq]

Hi there, we have used 40mm wood nails in this video 😊

[@joee95]

Instructions uncleared nailed myself to the roof

[@bandq]

[@dcocz3908]

Nothing like working in the dark...

[@darrenguy4300]

[@westronic]

Based off the title, I think this video was just about installing the felt. From my (limited) understanding, the drip edge would be installed afterward (perhaps in another video).
