If you notice a shed roof leak the first thing to do is to start looking for the missing shingles. Check the sides of the shed for dark patches or streaks as this may indicate dripping or running water.

To avoid seepage around the bottom of the shed apply silicone to the outside or inside of the u channel that runs along the bottom of the shed. You ll need to check for any discoloration to the structure particularly stains and darker patches. The shed will not leak but after installing the roof you will need to apply silicone along the running edges of the roof ridge caps and around the washers on the roof plugs.
