The shed is only a few months old and this is the second time it has

badly, it has roof felt on it and my OH put lots more nails in the joins
and then painted some sealant on there but it has happened again, not
quite
so bad but bad enough. Does anyone know of a really good sealant that we
could perhaps paint the whole to with or any other brainwaves please

About five years ago I sealed all the leaks in the roof up with strips
of Duck tape. It was supposed to be a temporary measure until a real
job was done but the roof hasn't leaked since.

Reminds me of the time I had a hole in my rain poncho while walking in the
Lake District.....Got back to the car park/Forestry info place where there
was a bike hire. I asked if they could put a patch on my poncho....The young
guy got out some duct tape and mended it for me. He said " Like The Force,
duct tape has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe
together".
