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

I have the same problem with a 20 ft garage roof, as soon as I have
time and a suitable day I am going to felt over the roof so that it
has an extra layer.
As the roof pitch isn't to steep I would be tempted to turf it, but I
don't have an area where I could take that much turf without leaving a
hefty scar
