EPDM is a rubber sheet that can be glued to ply. You then need flash form for the edges and joins, this will last forever. Recommend Firestone rubber cover. This is what we use.

thanks.....do you know what it may be called in spanish?
There should be a spanish version as it's made by a global company such as Firestone. But as were not in Spain I don't know. U will have to some investigation.
thank for all the advice people.
ok the only thing i could get in the big brico-depot store was a roll of thin rubber but with slight asphalty grainy one side. waterproof and cheap.
ok, how do i attach it glue, nails and screws? if so, what type of glue?
they said to maybe "fire" it on, but nobody is going to walk on it, and anything hot will burn some of the panelling.
surely glue is ok?

Ok now, I don't know if this job is for you....if I was you I would get a tradesman to fit this. Fire means it's should be heated with a blow torch (not the one you use for plumbing) before being stuck down as it's melts the adhesive allowing it to stick. I would not recommend using this felt with "glue"!!!! I wouldnt recommend u do this alone. Just get someone in. Otherwise your pyramid could turn into an ' ancient ruin'! 
Put a tent over it.

i dont want to spend more money on it - what is the problem with felt nails and glue? it only needs to keep the rain off and look kinda tight.
Since you don't want to take the advice, crack on, do want you to do! I ain't the one getting wet! Good luck!
FYI good luck getting the 'glue' to stick on the vertical.

what vertical?
how will it get wet if glued, nailed, and sealed at edges with silicon?
FFS the sides. Since you seem to know what your doing crack on! Pritt stick would be a good glue to use.
I have checked out your previous posts, you don't seem to listen to the advice given...why ask?
i asked many sources.....why would you presume you are god on this question?
my mind is made up to use glue and nails.....for many reasons:
A) off grid area, no power tools possible (genny to far to carry from a road).
B) no one will walk on it.
C) it is only a fun cheap project.
D) i know others who used nail and glue and worked.
what i dont know is what type of glue and nails to use, again, i will use multiple sources, but this is the only place where i received mocking answers.

Galvanised clout nails available from the French Brico-Depot stores.
For glue there's two options, both also available from Brico-Depot in France.
A thin black mastic primer, often used for priming a surface prior to sticking FlashBand or similar, comes in a tin of about 1/2 litre, apply by brush. Or
a thicker version of a similar poduct comes in a tube and is applied by caulking gun.
You'd probaly only use the thicker version around the edges.
Perhaps, when it's completed you could invite us all in for a meditation and a calming atmosphere, not all at once, of course, 'cos there doesn't look as thought there is sufficient room for more then one person at a time!
