Quote: Chuck, are you referring to Ice and water shield? We use it on the eaves of heated buildings to prevent ice damming in the winter. Yeah, but I have seen some places that waterproof the entire roof to help prevent mold and rot in them, especially in places that have a lot of precip...

Buster, I know that some places recommend a waterproofing of some kind before laying the roofing felt and then the shingles. Maybe Steve or Sam can come up with some suggestions to make it easier for you. I wish I was at that stage in my coops.
