cover the felt batten. The right-hand edge should overlap the next panel round. Once in position secure down the left edge using 4 x 10mm felt nails evenlyspaced. Lift back
the right-hand edge of the felt and attach another piece of felt in the same way as the first to the next panel round. Roll back into position the first felt. Repeat this forall the
small roof panels and in the same way on the left side of each large roof panel with the large left-hand felt piece. Position a Right-hand large on the right side of each large
roof panel, ensure it overlaps the felt pieces either side and secure down 1 edge using 10 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. For each piece of felt, tension across the roof and
secure down the edge using 10 x 10mm felt nails evenly space. Fold down the bottom edge of the felt and secure to the felt batten using 5 x 10mm felt nails per felt piece
