BBQ Shelter Roof Waterproofing
Morning Ian,
As promised please find attached a few photos of the BBQ Shelter with
shingled roof.
I finished it on Sunday just as the heavens opened, the rain lasting through
to Tuesday, it has therefore had its weather proofing capabilities tested
with immediate effect. The sun having finally come out again, I have been
able to take the pictures.
You can see from the first pic. (which is a night shot from yesterday
evening), having the electrics and lighting in place, why I was reluctant to
replace the roof.
I had to add extra pieces of timber on the ends to be able to bring the
under felt down so that a) it looks finished and b) any water drains off
without getting into the structure.
As previously mentioned the shingles were purchased from The Roofing
Superstore and were IKO Armourshield Hexagonal Roofing Shingles (Granite
Grey). Again as I previously mentioned, according to what I found online,
this particular range is lighter in weight being fibre glass based.
I must say it does look good, but it also brings a down side, it has made
the roof on our summerhouse look very shabby, so it seems I have another
job!
Once again many thanks for all your help. It goes without saying that I
would have no problem recommending your company, indeed I already have to
friends that saw the installation yesterday.
Kind regards
Roger
