A standard roll of 30-pound felt typically requires about 3 to 4 nails per square foot for proper installation, depending on the specific application and local building codes. Since a roll usually covers around 400 square feet, you would need approximately 1,200 to 1,600 nails for the entire roll. Always check manufacturer guidelines and local regulations for the most accurate requirements.

How much does it cost to build a house using tar paper?

Without seeing the plans I can't tell you. I can tell you how to calculate the price of the felt (it hasn't been made out of paper in a very long time--they call it "asphalt impregnated felt" or "roofing felt" now), though. Calculate the square footage of the roof, and divide by either 200 (if you're laying 30-pound felt) or 400 (if you're laying 15-pound felt, which is only really good if you're using three-tab shingles). Calculate the square footage of all the hardwood flooring you're using and divide by 400 (here you ALWAYS use 15-pound felt as 30-pound gives you no advantage) And if you are using felt on the walls under the siding, which means you're too cheap to use something proper like Tyvek, divide the square footage of the walls by 400. Each calculation gave you the number of rolls needed for each area. Add one more roll because you'll almost certainly need it, and multiply the number by the price of felt per roll in your area. 15-pound and 30-pound felt are the same price per roll almost everywhere--if a roll of 15-pound is $16.50, so will a roll of 30-pound be.

How do you know how much 30 pound felt you would use on a roof?

That depends. If this is a shingle or "steep slope" roof system, one layer of felt lapped 4" would be sufficient. A typical roll of #30 felt covers 200 sf.


How many rolls of 15 pound felt paper does it take to cover 8 squares?

1 square = 100 square feet x 8 squares = 800 square feet. 15# felt comes in different sizes. Multiply the length of the roll x the width of the roll to find out how many square feet are in a roll. 800 divided by the square feet per roll = how many rolls you need.

How many square feet does a roll of 30 pound felt paper covers?

Easy way to figure it: If the roll is 3 feet by 100 feet, it would cover 300 square feet. But you have to overlap it about 6 inches at top and bottom, so once you subtract that, it would cover about 200 square feet., When figuring a job, add some for overlap at valleys, chimneys, etc. . . Hope this helps. A standard roll of 30# felt covers 216 square feet; one-half the area of a roll of 15# felt, which covers 432 square feet. Rows are overlapped 2 inches, not 6 inches.

How many rolls of felt do you need to cover 10 square coverage?

To determine how many rolls of felt you need to cover 10 square feet, you'll need to know the coverage area of a single roll of felt. For example, if one roll covers 5 square feet, you would need 2 rolls to cover 10 square feet. If the roll covers a different area, simply divide 10 by the coverage area of one roll to find the total number of rolls needed.
