Instead of purchasing a larger roll and having significant material left over, the 5 metre size provides a more economical option for compact roofing projects.
It is ideal for:
- Small garden sheds
- Kennels
- Hutches
- Playhouses
- Small summerhouses
- Timber stores
- Garden cupboards
- Small outbuildings
Attractive Charcoal Mineral Finish
The upper surface features an attractive charcoal / granite-grey mineral finish, providing a smart and neutral appearance that works well with a wide range of timber and painted garden buildings.
The darker finish provides a contemporary alternative to traditional green shed roofing felt.
It works particularly well with:
- Natural timber
- Grey-painted sheds
- Black garden buildings
- Contemporary garden offices
- Traditional timber structures
Strong Glass Fibre Construction
The roofing felt incorporates a glass fibre reinforced core, providing good stability and helping the material maintain its shape after installation.
This construction makes it a practical option for straightforward shed roofing and re-felting projects.
The glass fibre reinforcement also helps the felt stay flat once installed, making it easier to achieve a tidy and professional-looking finished roof.
Film-Faced Underside
The underside of the roofing felt features a film-faced finish.
This helps prevent the felt from sticking to itself while rolled and contributes to its ability to lie flat during installation.
The film backing forms part of the product construction and should not be removed during installation.
Designed to Stay Flat
One of the main benefits of this glass fibre shed felt is that it is designed to stay flat after fitting.
Reducing unwanted rippling or movement can make installation easier and improve the appearance of the completed roof.
This feature is particularly useful for DIY users who want a straightforward roofing material that is relatively easy to position and work with.
Single-Layer Waterproof Roof Covering
This shed felt is designed for use as a waterproof top-coat roofing felt.
When correctly fitted over a suitable timber roof deck, it forms the exposed waterproof layer of the roof and helps protect the building beneath from rain and everyday weather exposure.
Its straightforward single-layer application makes it particularly suitable for sheds and other small timber structures.
Ideal for Re-Felting a Shed Roof
If your existing shed felt has become:
- Torn
- Cracked
- Weathered
- Leaking
- Loose
- Damaged by wind
this Charcoal Glass Fibre Shed Felt provides a practical replacement option.
The 5m roll is especially useful when re-felting a smaller shed or carrying out a localised roofing project where a larger 10m roll would provide more material than required.
5m x 1m Roll
Each roll measures 5 metres long by 1 metre wide, providing approximately 5 square metres of material before allowing for overlaps and cutting.
When calculating the amount required for your roof, remember to allow additional material for:
- Side overlaps
- End overlaps
- Eaves
- Roof ridge details
- Verges
- Cutting
- Waste
For larger roofs, multiple rolls can be combined or the larger 10m version may provide better value.
Shed Roofing Felt Installation
For a secure and weather-resistant installation:
- Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry and structurally sound
- Remove old nails, debris and loose roofing material
- Position the felt smoothly across the roof
- Use galvanised clout nails spaced approximately every 50mm
- Apply suitable felt adhesive or felt joint adhesive along edges and overlaps
- Allow sufficient overlap between adjoining sections
- Carefully seal roof edges and joints
- Do not remove the film backing
Correct installation is important for maximising the waterproofing performance and expected lifespan of the felt.
Galvanised Clout Nail Fixing
This roofing felt should be mechanically secured using suitable galvanised clout nails.
The large heads on roofing clout nails help hold the felt securely against the timber roof deck without easily pulling through the material.
Galvanised nails also offer improved corrosion resistance compared with untreated steel fixings.
Use with Felt Adhesive
In addition to mechanical fixing, suitable roofing felt adhesive or felt joint adhesive should be applied along vulnerable edges and overlaps.
Adhesive helps:
- Secure roof edges
- Bond overlapping sections
- Reduce the risk of wind lifting the felt
- Improve weather protection around joints
- Create a neater finished installation
Ideal for New Roofs & Replacement Projects
This 5m shed felt can be used for both new garden building roofs and refurbishment projects.
It is particularly useful when:
- Building a new small shed
- Re-felting an existing shed
- Roofing a kennel
- Re-roofing a hutch
- Repairing a playhouse roof
- Covering a small timber outbuilding
Great-Value Shed Roofing Solution
Glass fibre shed felt provides a practical balance between affordability and dependable weather protection.
For customers who do not require the extended lifespan of heavier polyester or SBS roofing systems, this felt provides a straightforward and cost-effective option.
It is particularly suitable for standard garden structures where a 5+ year roofing solution provides the required performance.
5+ Year Life Expectancy
When correctly installed and maintained, this Glass Fibre Shed Felt has an expected service life of 5 years or more.
Correct installation using appropriate clout nails, adhesive and overlaps is important for obtaining the best long-term performance.
For customers wanting an even longer lifespan, premium polyester and SBS shed roofing felts may be worth considering.
