Green roofs are really cool options for sheds, after all how great is it to be able to rely on vegetation to protect your goods from rain, rather than a roof that will require ongoing maintenance and professional installers?

With a green roof, you essentially use soil to create an effective drainage system that will keep rainwater at bay. To make sure the water doesn’t seep into your shed, you’ll need to ensure the weight of the roof fluctuates through a safe zone. Whilst professional help is not normally required with a green roof, you will need to take care when installing this roof on a shed where foundation materials could be too old and fragile, otherwise it may not support this particularly heavy system. Don’t let the weight put you off though, more people are going greener with their sheds, and a green roof can look very pretty when complete.
