avoid wasting felt when felting garage roof

m y garage roof is 5.130mm long and rolls of felt are 10 m long which means i am losing over 4 metres on each roll. how can i avoid that many thanks

It depends on how wide the roof is and if it has a single slope, try the tile system and put it horizontally, riding about 70mm each strip. If the width of the roof is 3m you will lose 1m to the roll

Don't think you can unless you find a supplier that cuts to size

Hi, if you try the opposite way to see how much you would lose should be less,
