[Cob] Roofing

The biggest problem I can see with using a shingle system under a living roof is that the soil on the roof would hold the moisture in and the shingles would likely act as a wick and draw water to your decking.

Just a theory.

What would happen if you used the plastic jug idea (cut into tiles)  but then put a living roof on top of that to protect from UV?You could staple or nail the tiles down like we do asphalt tiles, the  nails being below the one above.Rodger_______________________________________________Coblist mailing listCoblist at deatech.comhttp://www.deatech.com/mailman/listinfo/coblist
