green roof on garden shed

Posted by Dani Washer on January 10, 2011 at 6:32pm

Hi folks,

 

I have a client who would like a green roof on their new garden shed.

 

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a specific shed or supplier that's particularly good for green roofs to be planted on?  Otherwise they'll go down the route of reinforcing a standard shed and planting on that, which is fine but they want to avoid the work of reinforcing the shed roof...

 

Thanks!

Dani

    Try Enviromat, they do a wide range of green roofing including sheds.

    Hi Dani

    Enviromat can supply the green roofing bit.  For the shed try Cranes Sheds from Norfolk, Olympian Garden Buildings from Cheshire or Taylors Garden Buildings - also from Norfolk.  Either of these companies will supply suitable buildings with or without the green roof included

    Thanks Angela that's very helpful, I'll look into those.

    Dani  you don't mention how large the shed is likely to be.  To give you an idea of the load bearing requirements for our wild flower roof turf; the saturate weight of the entire solution of turf + 100mm depth of substrate (growing medium) would be 130Kg/m².

    A small shed probably wouldn't need reinforcing but in the end its always going to be worth making the effort on a larger shed in order to enjoy a beautiful wild flower roof.
