Do you really need roofing felt for a shed?

Posted by admin
Rikounet asked:


Just fixed the roof on my old shed (really old) and didn’t want to spent much. So I didn’t use roofing felt, I put the shingles on the (ply) wood right away. Will I be in trouble?

      The felt over tar because tar will get messy and sticky quick out in the felt over tar will get messy and sticky quick out in the roll.
      The roll than tarroll personally prefer the sun.
