I'd never go with roof felt for a shed these days.

Single sheet of EPDM is going to be better as far as being waterproof (no joins), and will never need replacing before the shed does.
Never knew about this. Our shed desperately needs a new roof, and was going to use roofing felt. Is this stuff easy to fit (I'm disabled and ladders aren't really my thing!) but sounds like this would be better to use than traditional roof felt.

My understanding is EPDM doesn't like high temperatures. I'd just stick with Plan A, some basic roofing felt, that's designed to take full summer sun.

Looks a solid project to me!

We put EPDM on a couple of our sheds: one pent roof (VERY easy to fit), one apex (a bit fiddlier).
Yes, you do have to climb along, but really quite easy.

I'd never go back to roofing felt now.....unless they get spiked, I think those will outlast me!

(& if they were spiked, they ought to be repairable reasonably easily)
