I was wondering how this video had so few views...then I realised you only uploaded it haha.....anyway great video - really clear and best Ive seen on how to lay and EPDM roof....thanks!
I noticed that the label indicated this roof was made in the USA! Good 'ole American engineering on top of a lovely British garden room. Very nice job. Sorry but I am often missing the live show. Due to the time difference, it is middle of the afternoon here and I sometimes have other commitments. Cheers
Hi Mark, looking good EFDM roof, they are very good . My brother has this roof covering on his extension of his house and on his garage that was fitted in 2018 still looks good now. Thanks to your self and Rob for last nights Shed Space I enjoyed it, I will catch you both in 2 weeks time. Take care
Hi Shaun. Thanks for the comment. They will last a long time many decades . Really enjoyed last night again. We never know what we are going to talk about but it just flows so well. Always a lot of fun and thank to all of you for making it so good. Have a good weekend. Speak soon Mark
That looks a lot easier than when I did my shed roof 10x6". I bought a shed kit comprised of epdm and spay adhesive. I had to spray the adhesive to the wooden roof and also to the epdm, let it go tacky and then lower the epdm down on the roof. I only had one try to get it right.
I enjoyed watching this Mark. I have two questions for you. 1. Why do you have to use a different glue for the edges? and 2. What is the life expectancy of the rubber roof? Regards, Fred
Hi Fred, good questions. 1. The honest answer is that I’m not entirely sure, it’s just the way that the roofing company I deal with say it must be done. To be honest there is a school of thought that because I’m fixing edging all round this makes the edging glue mute as it’s essentially double fixed. I don’t have a problem with that as it’s even stronger around the roofs most vulnerable points. 2. Life expectancy is 25years. But they say it will last longer but that’s the guarantee. Out last me anyway. 🤣 Stay well.
Water-based adhesive is not good for walls and upstands because the slow drying time could mean the rubber shifts position before the glue has gone off. This is also why Contact Adhesive is used around the edge of the deck. Contact Adhesive is a super-strong, instant grab glue.
Well done Mark. Professionally done. Nice to watch at the end of the working week.
Thanks 👍

@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding You too Mark see you soon
Was thinking of putting epdm on my shed roof next spring so thanks for doing this video as i have an Insight in doing it now.
You’re welcome
Great 😊 where is the base?
great job and information mark
Thanks Ian.
Hi how much did the material last cost you?
That looks a lot easier than when I did my shed roof 10x6". I bought a shed kit comprised of epdm and spay adhesive. I had to spray the adhesive to the wooden roof and also to the epdm, let it go tacky and then lower the epdm down on the roof. I only had one try to get it right.
That sounds like the primer I use with it where you glue Epdm to Epdm
Great Job Mark......looks easy when you do it.......did I miss it but how does this compare ££ wise to felt?cheers mate
This is a lot more expensive but I wouldn’t compromise on a build like this. A simple garden shed then felt is ok.
Also minimum 25years life. Some say up to 50 years
