How To Install a Rubber Roof: Ultimate Garden Workshop #7 

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Wow, thanks! 🙏 high praise indeed!

Thanks 🙏 I’m actually the least excited to fit the windows and door. But the cladding should be fun!

Thank you! Cheers!

Great tips! Thanks 🙏

Thank you! Cheers!

😂 it’s worth keeping somethings quiet haha 🙏 Thanks!

Thanks 🙏 I’m so glad the roof is done now, it makes such a difference as it’s now a usable area, albeit not finished 😀 hope you’re well!

@@sumeraybuilds Its going to be an amazing space bud. Well done.

Thanks a lot 😊

Thanks so much 🙏 When you say equipment, do you mean the tools I've used or the materials?

No sorry I mean all the material as in a list would be great, I’ve got the breakdown of the wood but all the material other stuff you’ve used Loving your work!

Personally, I think you'd have less problems with rubber in the long run given that there's no holes to drill fixing to. However, I'm not a roofer and have never installed a metal roof... If it's just a small shed then the juice might not be worth the squeeze 😂

Thanks 🙏 I am cladding vertically so there’s 50mm behind the cladding that will go up into that gap I left in the soffit. I’m planning to insulate the roof with PIR board and leave a 50mm gap above that too. I believe this will be plenty for ventilation. But honestly it’s my first time doing this so open to any feedback! 😀

@@sumeraybuilds I went belt and braces with soffit vents too but the gap behind my cladding is only 25mm so probably wouldn’t have been sufficient in my case. I think you’ll need to cut some notches or holes in your noggins so air can flow across the roof! How did you find the contact adhesive on the perimeter of the rubber roof? I left mine for ages to tack off but it still kept causing air pockets once laid. Nightmare. Rubber4roofs just said not to worry about it.

@chrisb2443 I did consider soffit vents, I still might. And drilling the noggins seems like a great suggestion for resolving the airflow surrounding them. I did notice some bubbling whilst drying but they’re gone now so I assumed that just happened due to the extreme heat we had that day (23 degrees)

@@sumeraybuilds good luck with the rest of the build! Looking forward to the next instalment!

To be honest I didn’t look into the science of which is better too much. I just know that many people opt for rubber on these garden rooms . I like that there’s less height required, no fixings leading to leak points, easy installation and it’s affordable.

Thanks 🙏
