Default GAF Liberty roofing -- walkable?


wrote in message
.net...
I'm having a low-pitch roof added on a porch addition. The roof isn't
technically a deck, but it will get some foot traffic.

Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks for any input!


Yes, you should build a pathway. Roofing shingles are not made to be
walked on as a matter of normal practice. Don't expect good durability.
Yes, the granules may come off, yes, it may get soft in the hot sun, yes, it
will start to leak years earlier than a normal roof.

IMO, you need a better design.
