[flossiefey]

great talent .. very entertaining .. thanks

[rrf745]

how long did this really take u not speed up like this?

[cviebrock]

@rrf745 I can't remember for sure, but around half a day to install the panels.  The membrane (see Part 1 video) was a full day.

[rrf745]

@cviebrock nice

[Azmiia]

but how will you get the lawn mower up there?

[cviebrock]

@Azmiia I don't. The plants are sedum, not grass, so it doesn't require mowing.

I think is a good video that shows the beautiful green colors of plants and using TPO is the best for a green roof garden.

[chuckkottke]

Deeper green may be possible - I've thought about using natural rubber sheets, seam-sealed with heat and pressure (like a hot-patched tire). If covered with pea gravel, coir, and the earthy living layer, it might last well enough (as the two main decomposers of natural rubber are sunlight and ozone or oxygen.. Finding old natural rubber boots intact and in good shape (aside from worn soles) buried in moist soil suggests that natural rubber lasts if protected by soil.. Food for thought!

Green roofs are changing the way architects design buildings

How good is your seal? Why don't you have what I understand as the necessary layers: filers, drainage, waterproofing membrane layers? It seems your green roof is going to rot your roof when moisture seeps below on to the roof via the seams of that black tarp fo yours. Viewers: don't try this at home until you do some research. Doing this on a garage is one thing. Watch it if you're thinking of doing this over your HOME!

[peapod8]

sorry about typo.. "t" missing: filers should have been filters

[cviebrock]

The "black tarp" isn't a tarp at all. It's a fleece filter cloth used to protect the white TPO waterproofing underneath it. And yes, the TPO is fully sealed ... you should check out the other videos I posted that show the installation of the actual waterproofing membrane.

There is no chance of leakage (no more than on any other roof).

The panels themselves incorporate the drainage and filtering layers, plus the growing media and plants.

What type of plant do you use for the roof. im working on a school project and we're using Sedum Mexicana

OH YAY WOW IM SO GREEN NOW I CAN WATER MY ROOF! nooooot what the sh!t green roofs arent green if every next man is worrying about watering his lawn and roof

[cviebrock]

Actually, once the plants are established (1 or 2 years), this kind of green roof is designed for very little maintenance. It can go 2-3 weeks without watering ... and when it does rain, I'm collecting any run-off in a rain-barrel to pump back up.

[philstylenz]

Water use is only a problem in water short areas. Areas with abundant rainfall don't sahre this problem. A good green roof will use vegetation which is locally adapted anyway.

u should do some catching-up on the subject before the diarrhea makes its way up outta your mouth.

great video guys!

[cwegscheid]

Nicely done!

[cviebrock]
