Default wacko roof tile idea, split plastic pipe

But you could almost simulate a tile roof just by splitting some plastic
pipe, maybe in the 4 to 6 inch diameter range, and overlapping. Roof
tiles are about 20 inches long normally, but there'd be no reason you
couldn't use standard ten foot pipe lengths. Alternate face up and face
down, and there should be nowhere for water to get in.


not sure it can stand up to the UV

for example: it is recommended to paint your pool piping to prevent UV
damage.
