Got a roof/deck that I need to get covered and made water proof.
It was built and decked with osb and then had rolled graveled roofing put on it. Did not last long as it gets "stuff" from surrounding tress on it and then when it gets walked on it put holes in the rolled roofing.
Not sure where to go from here.
As near as I can tell I have a couple of choices.
Some type of heavy duty rubberized roofing material but it is EXPENSIVE and not sure how long it will last.
The second choice (the one I need opinions on) is flat metal.
I have found some 24"X50' rolled metal that is said to be a nominal .010 gauge.
It feels pretty thick to me but not sure what to compare it to.
The roof has a 1:12 pitch so I'm thinking that I could overlap the seams a couple of inches and seal them.
ANy thoughts on how well this would work and if this thickness metal would withstand being walked on.
Thanks for any thoughts.
