tiled mate all the way sick of felting i have also had sliders in roof for the ventilation and darkness

[OF ONE SKIN]

Me too, going for a 24x8 pent roof from ecco lofts. Treating it with sadolin when it comes.

[peter pandy]

I had a new loft built almost 3 years ago and treated it with 3 coats Ronseal exterior solvent based stainer but unfortunately during the first summer the weather board planks shrunk to the affect that they almost separated leaving untreated wood showing. With that in mind I would not treat with any type of varnish. I have since gave it a further coat but noticed at the door where I have a paving slab as a step rain splashes have removed the stainer from the door. With that in mind I cannot recommend Ronseal at £30 for 5 Ltr's.

I have a tiled roof but fitted a ceiling throughout as it was a nightmare with temperature change and draughts ,

As for felted roofs they should never be nailed ,If applied properly using cold tar and a heavy duty green mineral felt it will last for 25 + years
