Cob: Metal Roofing

[Dorothy Bothne]

I ordered the metal roofing for our little cob coop at home depot. It's been a couple years, but I think it was about $300 for the material (24'x12' area + matching flashing) the local store charges $45 to deliver material.   the last message I sent gave the website of the manufacturer of the roofing material that we used so you can see what they have available.   picture of the cob coop is on our website at:  http://home.swbell.net/bothne/bear_cave.html. My youngest son installed it for me (he was 18 at the time) so it's not that hard to install.

Not sure how commonly used it is in your area, but Home Depot and some
other home improvement chains stock a limited selection (and can special
order a much wider variety). Interestingly, according to the local home
depot, if they special order it in this area, it is actually cheaper than
what they stock in the store because the special order stuff comes from a
different vendor who is relatively local. Of course you could also check
roofer's in the yellow pages, if any of the have worked with it, they
should be able to point you to some houses they have done for you to look
at.
