Shed Felt or Corrugated Roof Sheets?
Shed Felt vs Onduline Corrugated Roofing Sheets
Felt roofing is a popular choice of roofing product in the UK for outdoor structures, such as sheds, summerhouses and playhouses. Shed felt tends to be the default roofing product for many garden outbuildings, it is the cheapest way to cover shed roofs, but not always the best option as it can wear and tear quite easily.
After two to five years the shed felt can start to crack and tear, which will inevitably let water in. Onduline corrugated roof sheets are a great upgrade to standard shed felt and are guaranteed to keep your garden buildings dry and watertight for longer.

Extreme Weather Resistance: Capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 120mph when fixed correctly.
Easy Retrofitting: Can often be installed directly over existing, failing felt roofs without needing to strip them first.
Simple Installation: Onduline bituminous corrugated roof sheets look fantastic when installed and are very easy to fix with Onduline’s screws or nails. Require no specialist tools.
