HoneySuckleDreams Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does anyone know where I can buy roofing felt, the sort that goes on shed roofs? I think it's called Capsheet at Wickes in the UK. I got quoted for something called Simpralin (??) which was €184 HT for 8m2. It would do the job, but seems to be 10x the price of anything in the UK. Can't find anything similar in the brico sheds around here other than "Shingle" which is strips of stuff that are supposed to look like slates.Many thanksps I've tried Chausson, BricoDepot and BigMat so far.

Pierre ZFP Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I know what you mean. When I wanted some I had no luck. In the end I used corrrugated bitumen sheets (around 5 euros for 2 * 1 metres). I could easily do this as it was just a small pent-roof shed. I have since found the 'normal' stuff in Lux and German brico sheds at Wickes prices but that's no good for you I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have some for sale ( 3/4) rolls of Wickes Bitumen shed felt but I think that you are probably too far from me here in Mayenne (53) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 PunchThanks , but a tad too far i'm afraid. I've got some friends coming over in a week or so and i'll ask them if they squeeze some in for me. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 They must be good friends to put rolls of nasty sticky heavy roofing felt in the car [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave&Olive Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 hi OK just a word of warning ..... it melts under the sun ... maybe that's why you cannot get it here Dave [geek] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 but you can get it. just in stupid shingle sheets or stuff thats so much engineered to be unaffordable. (I know it melts, the tarred roads melt round here in the summer). But it's the only way I know of covering a hinge joint on a chicken coop nest box. If there is an alternative then i'm all ears (or eyes when it comes to the t' interweb). I'm not being flippant...i can't think of an alternative at the moment. I've tried plastic, but it cracks too easily with the UV stuff floating around. Actually.. i've had a thought.. i might try rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 crazy, what about that foam stuff that they squirt on apertures etc to weatherproof them?My OH has used it to stop rats getting into our converted barn; he's filled all the visible holes into our property.

HoneySuckleDreams Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 sweet.. it needs to be a flexible (watertight) hinge so no3 son (in charge of egg collecting) can fulfil his duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 crazy, do you mean some sort of flexible fillet that would enable 2 planes to articulate? Please explain so that I know what exactly you're looking for because I do know quite a bit about building materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
