Thanks for the detailed instructions to do the top of the roof, I took apart a shed and I’m trying to re do the roof and didn’t know how to do this 👍🏼

Have absolutely have no idea how to shingle but I will give it a try after looking at your video I feel confident it will go good and I'll probably play it back a few times as I'm doing it. Thanks great video.

finally a video showing the full process. Thank you.

[matthewutley]

Awesome, thanks for this. I already know how I plan to build a shed, framing and such isn't that foreign to me. I've never roofed anything before though, and this was very clear and helpful.

[kwesty]

Thank you!!! The last step was invaluable. Just what I was looking for..

[TwOnEightt]

The exact video I was looking for as a first timer learning to roof my shed. Clear and concise thank you for making this. Earned my sub

[DustySquitoNM]

Thanks for the video! I just did the shingles on my cabin but I wasn't sure what to do with that high side edge. Perfectly clear now thanks to you!

[laceyandrews-motj]

This was so detailed, thank you! I have installed the shingles on my little free library that I’m building and couldn’t figure out a good way to finish the top of it.

This is absolutely the best instructional video I have ever come across. It presented exactly what I needed to roof the 10'x12' lean-to style shed I built. Thank you so much for creating and sharing it.

A tip for weekend builders who have never roofed and likely spend too much time behind a desk all week (like me). Remember to peel off the cellophane 'tape' off the tar strip before laying the shingle down. Yes I screwed this up on the very first shed roof I did years ago because it was hot out it was not immediately apparent that there was even tape there. At the time I didn't know enough to think that the tar was there to glue things together. Yeah I know dumb but live and learn. Thanks for the great video!

[jackdonaldson]

Amazingly clear and well done. Fantastic job. Thank you for a great set of tutorials.

@iCreatables just want to thank you for the series of videos. They’ve been extremely helpful to a first time to shed builder. I’m almost done, but I would like to know what can I use to cover the flashing at the end of the roof? I would sure hate for my shed to be pulverized by a lightning strike.
