One of the reasons for bringing the buds indoors was the leaky Aviary. its taken such a hit with this weather and im glad we put the tarp on the roof before the snow came. Major work when the weather gets better, dry it out, replace roof and insulate all inside panels plus a few adjustments with the inside flights. Big job ahead

Ive got it at the base of the same corner too sue, the annoying thing is that as far as we can see without taking the roof off the felt looks ok. Don't quite know what is going on till we take it off, its too hard to get to with it being right next to greenhouse, it possibly needs re sighting

, hay ho.

leave the old felt on and re-felt on top!!! make sure that the felt comes at least 6" at the sides, put some wooden battens around the edge under the edge of the felt!
you can just see the wood battens on the left side, this helps to keep the water off the shed walls x
(easier to fix wood to the shed then nail on the felt to that !)

Thanks Gaile, we've been thinking of this, its a bit tricky because its up against a brick wall, there is a gap but not enough to work with so the roof will have to come off to do it but it would be cheaper than a complete new roof.
