Roofing paper which side up.

It is commonly called 15lb paper. Red rosin paper is a high quality single ply sheathing paper which is widely used in built up roofing systems as a first layer protective barrier. Lay the first strip of tar paper side to side with its bottom edge along the edge of the roof. All drip edges along roof eaves valley liners and flashing need to be installed before the roof paper layer is laid down.

I finished installing 30 roofing felt paper on my 10x12 shed but after reading around it seems i put the wrong side up meaning the lines that were marked on the felt are facing down instead of up. Begin at the bottom edges of the roof and go up. Only a drip edge along the roof rakes is installed after the paper. This environmentally friendly paper is manufactured from 100 recycled fibers.

Cover the peaks by laying the center of a strip of tar paper along the peak. The fibers are set in alum to resist bleeding. Use more if the day is windy. Tack it down with galvanized nails a hammer tacker or an electric staple gun.

Primarily used for roofs you can also use tar paper to line exterior walls before finishing them. Continue overlapping strips up each side of the roof leaving the peaks uncovered. Many rolls are pre striped allowing installers to keep a straight line when applying roll strips to the roof side by side. Place the sticky side down when laying tar paper.
