I have a flat roof over a single-storey extension and I'd like to know what kind of weight it would be capable of holding. I know it wasn't designed to bear a load, but clearly it can take something since, for instance, I can walk around on it with no problem and it feels as firm as a floor.
If I wanted to get a good idea what it could support would I need to lift the felt and have a look at its structure? Timber dimensions and so on? I know some people build decks on flat roofs so presumably one can safely figure out how strong they are.
Thanks for any suggestions,
