Are there fasteners that penetrate the fiberglass and secure it to the rafters? My friend bought an Arrow shed which we assembled according to the direction, but it leaked badly right from the start. We found that we had to go back and remove every screw, put a dollop of silicone caulking on them all, and then fasten them again. No more leaks after that.


You may also be correct, the shed might have needed a drip edge type of product



Image being interesting because I never realized you leave a gap between the drip edge and the fascia in case any water gets through the sheathing. Image being also a bit confusing because shingles go over top of the drip edge and the fascia yet also. The sheathing is the black felt paper only.
