Green roof for shed - advice please!

bobnotthe builder · 25 Aug 2012

I want to build a 2m X 1m bike shed with a green roof. Does there need to be a slope on the roof? If so how many degrees? If there's too much of a slope the bottom would be more moist than the top of the slope, wouldn't it?
Any advice welcome- thanks.

What relevance is the colour? You need a slope for rain to run off the steeper the quicker it will shed.Measurement missing or is it a two dimensional structure?

you mean a roof with grass growing on it, right?

Yes, so what do you want?

He wants a green roof, presumably planted with sedums. He's asking about the slope of the roof as he doesnt want the plants to be over watered. Sadly I dont know the answer.
