Rubber Roofing Material

[ice_it_06]

Ice talk has me thinking its time to get going on roofing my 8 X 16.

People talk about Menards, Home Depot and such as outlets for rubber.

Do they supply one piece sizes to cover mine ? or any referrals to who does carry such quanities greatly appreciated.

Better to over lap the roof edges with contact stripping, or just lay the rubber to the edge and use a corner flash and screw it down.(probably use rubber cement/sealer on seam)Its a older wood sided 8 X 16. First time attempt, want it simple and effective. (lol)

Menards sells 10 x 20. I just covered mine and plan on keeping the rubber extended about 3 inches down the side wall. I'll then attach it to the side using some pieces of galvinezed metal strips (the kind you find near the construction desk, not the stuff they sell you for the roof since it's costs 3 times as much.

Thanks for the reply. I just called Menards and they got that 10 X 20 you mentioned for $77 the guy said. He mentioned those strips that come pre-drilled. I told him they sound like transition strips for carpet, he said they are identical he thought.

The 3" hang over is what I was thinking and tack on a good boarder strip like you mentioned or something similar.

Mine has a sheet metal roof on it but its not one piece and full of seams I coated with rubber cement. All the rain we got it leaked nothing, but for $100 I'll stretch a rubber roof on it for assurance and better look.

thanks again
