How To Resurface A Tin Shed Roof

Many of us have made reference to an old farm house with a tin roof.

How to resurface a tin shed roof. Work from your ladder whenever possible. Apply a coat of primer to the entire roof. A current alternative trend in roofs is the use of aluminum. You need only one coat but it should be a thick coat.

Add another layer of urethane roofing cement and apply the second mesh patch. Purchase a roller with a long handle from a home improvement store. Remove the screws from the topmost roofing panel and slide it off continuing on to the next lowest panel until you ve stripped the entire roof off the shed. Today metal roofs often consist of an alloy steel with a zinc coating applied to it for protection known as galvanized metal.

Ironically tin roofs are not made out of tin. Use a paintbrush or a paint roller to spread the primer. Carefully go onto your roof for areas that are hard to reach from the ladder. Press the first mesh sheet over the hole.

Apply a thick layer of urethane roofing cement around the edges of the hole. Though completely functional it was a curb appeal nightmare.
